About the Student Portal

Student services

Through its contact with other central systems, the Student
Portal is able to offer every active student a basic selection of
services, such as course- and programme pages, study results and
schedule. Students can also request
transcripts and change address.

Functions

In addition to these student services, teachers and course
administrators can choose to make use of the Student Portal's various
functions, e.g., web registration, examination notifications,
discussion forums, web pages and course evaluations. These are displayed on programme and course pages, see Functions in the menu.

Spread information to different groups of students

The Student Portal make it very easy to communicate with students. An administrator can, depending on her role, choose to direct the function/information to:

Spellchecking and Text-to-speech Programs

As a student att Uppsala University you have access to Spellchecking and Text-to-speech Programs.

Download Spellchecking Programs

Students at Uppsala University can download spellchecking tools. They are available both for PC and Mac.

Stava Rex is a tool that can help you to correct your spelling and grammar mistakes in Swedish texts. It is developed for persons with dyslexia but can be useful for everyone who wants some extra support.
SpellRight is a tool for English texts.

Download Text-to-speech Program

TorTalk is an easy to use reading tool that can read out all kinds of text from paper and screen. It works for all ebooks, locked PDF files and text within scanned images. For those with dyslexia or other reading difficulties, a text-to-speech program like TorTalk make a big difference in everyday life.

Authorization and roles

In order for an employee to log on and work in the Student Portal she/he must have authorization to do so.

Student Portal authorization applications must be signed by
the head of the department. It is possible to have one or more roles at
the Department. Administrator status will determine what the logged-on
user can do and is described in detail on page 2 in the User authorization form for the Student Portal (pdf)

An employee who is authorized at more than one department, but with
different roles at each department have access to varying
functionality depending on at which department he/she is working with
in the portal at the time.

The authorization is administrated by the university's central authorization system, AKKA.

My authorizations

As an employee, you can always click on your name at the top right corner to see your roles at the department.

Authorisation tab

Listed here is everyone at the department who is authorised to work in Student Portal, with information about what roles each individual has.

Authorisation per course section

It is possible to limit an employee’s authorization to individual course sections. This can be useful when a teacher, assistant or visiting lecturer is only to be given access to one or more course sections instead of all courses at the department.

If a student is to help out with a course, you can create an external account for the student and then add authorization for the external account to the course in question.

Authorizations per course section are administered by an authorization administrator at the department – an authorization that in turn must be approved by the head of department. See the User authorization form (pdf)

Please note: if an employee who is authorized to work with all course sections at a department is to work with only a few course sections, the authorization for the whole institution must be revoked. In such cases, the head of department or the equivalent must contact Support.

Click on the link Remove next to the course section to remove the authorization.

External accounts in Student Portal

An individual with an external account can be authorised to work as a teacher or administrator in Student Portal (this authorisation can be limited to one or a few course sections if you wish). It is also possible to add participants with an external account for in-house training sessions. External accounts are created in AKKA by IT Service desk.

Development

Please note that changes in the surrounding world affect the pace of development for Student Portal. When changes are effected in other systems, Student Portal also needs to be adapted, and this goes before the development of new features.

The grade U via Progress
It is now possible to submit a failing grade, U, via Progress. This is made possible by the addition of the status “Unsatisfactory achievement”. If a Progress element is linked to an examination code and the student has this status, the teacher reporting grades can enter a U for that examination code. Grades are reported as usual via a grading sheet that is submitted to Uppdok.

Flexible menu for joint course sections
Now you can activate a flexible menu on joint course section pages. In this way you can create a menu structure that reflects the set-up of the joint course section. Remember that only teachers and administrators can see the menu for the joint course section page. To make the menu structure visible to students, you need to make a copy of the menu on the course sections included in the joint course section. Read more about the flexible menu (pdf).

Learning tools interoperability (LTI)
Student Portal now supports the integration of external tools via the LTI standard. This means that in the future it will be easier to lift readymade teaching functions into Student Portal and make them accessible in teaching contexts.

Simplified search function
To make it easier to search for course and programme pages in Student Portal, we have changed the search function. Now, for example, you do not have to enter whether you are searching via a registration code or a name/course and programme code. The system will now figure this out by itself.

New status in Assignments
The status Incomplete – supplementation impossible has been added to Assignments. Students with this status cannot upload files in Assignments. The new status can be used, for example, in cases when students have an Incomplete and are not allowed to upload files but rather need to complete the assignment on another occasion. The status will be translated as Incomplete in Progress.

Unmarked assignments
Via Unmarked assignments teachers can keep tabs on whether there are assignments that need to be marked. The number of unmarked assignments is shown here (status Submitted and Supplement submitted) for all courses where the teacher is on the list of teachers.

In this way the teachers will not know who the student is when they grade the assignment. The student’s name, civic registration number and anonymity code are available only to the department administrator.

Simplified division of students into groups
When grouping students you can now see which groups students already belong to. This makes it easier to manually divide a large group of students into smaller groups.

Authorization tabTo make it easier for departments to see who is allowed to do what in Student Portal, we have introduced an authorization tab. Listed here is everyone at the department who is authorised to work in Student Portal, with information about what roles each individual has.

Authorization per course sectionIt is now possible to limit an employee’s authorization to individual course sections. This can be useful when a teacher, assistant or visiting lecturer is only to be given access to one or more course sections instead of all courses at the department. Authorizations per course section are administered by an authorization administrator at the department – an authorisation that in turn must be approved by the head of department. See the authorization form.

External accounts in Student PortalNow an individual with an external account can be authorised to work as a teacher or administrator in Student Portal (this authorisation can be limited to one or a few course sections if you wish). It is also possible to add participants with an external account for in-house training sessions. External accounts are created in AKKA by IT Service desk.

Column headings remain in place for scrolling
For long lists of participants in Progress, Group divisions and Assignments, the column headings remain in place when you scroll down the page. This facilitates the work of teachers and administrators, who now can see what element or group applies to students.

Course evaluations for parts of course sections
Now you can create course evaluations for parts of course sections. If you use course evaluations for one part of a course section, we recommend that you use the facility for all parts included in the course section. We recommend that you include a question that covers the WHOLE course in the course evaluation for the final part of the course section. This will provide students with an opportunity to express their views regarding the course in its entirety. In the Higher Education Ordinance, it is the course that is the superordinate concept, and the University guidelines also state that students must be allowed to convey their thoughts about the course (including the course as a whole).

Course evaluations: filtering resultsThe result of a course evaluation of a joint course section can now be filtered by course. In this way course evaluation administrators can see whether the results differ across the courses included in the joint section. This also applies to programme evaluations, where it is now possible to filter results by all programme specializations included.

Student historyIt is now possible for Department administrators and Grade-reporting teacher to search for all of a student’s admissions and registrations at the department in question. Also shown here are status and information about the Progress elements and Assignment tasks for all of the student’s courses. This Student history is accessible via the Education > Student history tab.

Send email to students in Progress and Assignments
You can now send email to students via Progress or Assignment. This can be practical for instance if you want to mail everyone with an Incomplete status regarding an element or everyone who has not submitted an assignment.

News November 5

Hidden groups
It is now possible to create groups that are hidden for students, i.e. the groups are not displayed under My Groups. This may be helpful if teachers/administrators want to communicate with a group of students without them knowing who else is in the group. Functions that are limited to a hidden group will only be visible for the group members.

Shortcuts for Students
If a student clicks on "You are logged in as: ..." a menu containing shortcuts to the student's programmes and ongoing and incomplete courses will be shown. There are also shortcuts to all functions on the course/programme.

News October 8, 2014

Flexible display of participants and columns in lists of participants
Many of Student Portal’s functions contain lists of participants. These are now uniform, that is, the same columns with information about the student (name, civic registration number, group, re-registered, programme, etc.) are available in all lists of participants. After that, each function has its specific columns, such as status in Progress and Assignments. Teachers and administrators can decide which columns and participants are to be shown and how they should be sorted. Moreover all lists of participants have a search function that makes it possible to filter lists of participants further.

Link between Assignments and Progress
Now you can link a Progress element to a particular Assignments task. Once this has been done, the status and any associated scores will automatically be transferred from Assignments to the Progress element. Course and programme descriptions are displayed only on public course and programme pages and not shown to logged-in and registered students.

More information in messages from Progress
Now complete information about the course section will come with an email message that is generated when a results list is sent from Progress to Uppdok.

New and better editor for creating web pages
With the new editor you can readily create pages containing texts, images, documents, videos, audio, etc. You can also write mathematical formulas. Be sure to check that all images and links are displayed properly on the pages you created using the old editor.

Scores for all Assignments tasks
It is now possible to score a student’s Assignments task.

Schedulable groups in joint sections
It is now possible to mark groups in joint sections as schedulable. These groups can then be scheduled in TimeEdit.

Examinations: selection of venue

In exceptional cases, Student Portal staff may change the time and venue of examinations – even after the registration deadline has passed.

Top navigation to the University’s central pages
Now there are links to the University’s central pages for Admissions, Research, The University, Students, and Alumni.

My files discontinued

Please note: Application codes will only show current courses (current application codes).

Courses before ongoing semester

If you want to include courses given before ongoing semester, please tick the box. Courses from 2007 onwards will be shown.

Results

The results will always show courses offered this semester and up-coming semester and programmes. If you have chosen to include courses given before ongoing semester courses from 2007 onwards will be shown.

The results of your search will appear as a list giving the course
and programme name links to the respective course and programme
page(s) in the Student Portal. The Type column indicates whether it is a course, course package, or a programme.

If the course is part of a course package, information about which course package it belongs to will be shown in the Comment column.

If the search contains a course package, this will be shown in the
list. Course packages have no course pages (therefore no link), but the
course package will always be displayed in relation to a course that is
part of the course package.

My studies

The student’s courses and programmes are shown under the tab My studies. Registration and study results are available here and the student can also request transcripts.

If the department is using the Student Portal’s service for examination registration, students will see current Examination registrations here.

The heading Programme gives links to your admitted programmes, if no interruption on the programme is reported.

The heading Ongoing courses gives links to your current
registered courses. If you are on a programme/specialization it also
links you to specific programme page(s).

If there are course elements in a course section, it will be
displayed under the course section name in the menu. Functions
connected to the course section element will be displayed in the
menu under the name of the course section element.

Links to courses/programmes you have been admitted to but are
not yet registered for this semester or the coming semester are
shown under Admissions information with registration information.
You can register for some courses via the Student Portal.
Click on the links to see if this is possible for your
courses/programmes.

Under Incomplete courses there are links to courses that you took in previous semesters but have not received full credit.

The Completed courses link lists all the courses where you achieved full credit.

My schedule

These timetable events were retrieved from the TimeEdit booking system.

Student: The Schedule shows schedule events for your registered courses this semester. If you belong to a group that has a schedule, you will also see these scheduled events.

In the cases where the Student Portal cannot retrieve
schedule events from departmental timetables, Departmental Schedule
links can be shown on your course page.

Teacher and administrator: The Schedule shows schedule events you are booked on. Schedule events that are linked to groups do not appear for teachers and administrators (because they are not part of the group). However, there are links to the schedule for each group in the current Group division.

Search for timetables

Student Portal automatically shows schedule events that are relevant for you but you can search schedule events for a particular programme or courses via Change search.

Functions

The following functions are available.

Assignment

Via Assignment, students can upload files for you to assess. Here you can also communicate with the student and see an event log. It’s possible to submit assignments for plagiarism checks and to connect an assignment to a progress component.

Bulletin board with messages

Via a Bulletin board, you can direct messages to various groups of students, e.g. all students at a department, in a program, or in a course. This ensures that your information will reach everyone. A message can contain links and an attached file.

Chat

Via chats students and teachers can send instant messages to each other. Many teachers choose to use a chat to answer students' questions online. A chat can also be used as a tool for seminars when students and teachers discuss a particular topic.

Content pages

In Student Portal you can create Content pages where you can insert everything - text, links, documents, images, maths and films. You decide what content is to be shown in Swedish and/or in English.

Course evaluation

In Student Portal you can create a course evaluation for the students to respond to anonymously. Here your can also send students reminders, see outcomes, and write a course report. You have templates, questions, and scales available for use.

Course registration via web or roll call

Via a Course registration you can upload information about how and when students are to register – regardless of whether this registration is to be done via Student Portal or via roll call. Everything is shown openly on the course page so that reserves and late admissions can see important information.

Discussion forum

In a Discussion forum you and your students can discuss various topics. You can also use a forum to respond to common questions or to have students analyze each other’s assignments.

Document collection for course material

In a Document collection for course material, you can upload documents such as course material, past examinations, and timetables. To make it easy for your students to find documents, it’s a good idea to think through in advance how you name your Document collections and folders.

Document collection for group work

With a Document collection for group work, you can provide each group on the course with their own area to gather their documents. Here students can create folders, upload files, or delete files that are no longer current.

Examination registration

Via Examination registration students can see all of their examinations and can register for and deregister from examinations. The function supports anonymity from registration through recording of results, and the department automatically receives a compilation of all examination events.

Group division with sign-up

Via Group division you can create groups based on the list of course participants – either at random or by having students sign up. You can then decide that a function, such as a Document collection, is to be displayed only to a specific group.

Link

With the help of this function, you can create a link to an external Content page, a document, an e-meeting room, or some other service used on the course. A link will appear in the menu on the course or program page.

Ping Pong

This function links together a course section in Student Portal with an activity in the Ping Pong learning platform. Information about registered students is continuously transferred to Ping Pong, and students receive a link to the learning platform from their course page.

Progress

Progress can be used in many ways. For example, you can take attendance or monitor students’ progress in various components. If a component is connected to an Assignment, the Assignmen's status is automatically transferred to the progress function. It’s also possible to report results for various components if they are linked to an examination code.

Schedule

Gives the student access to the schedule via a link displayed in the menu on the course page. This way students can find the schedule regardless of whether it's in the course Document collection, on an external Content page, or in the scheduling program TimeEdit.

Teacher list

A teacher list contains information and contact details about the teachers and administrators on a course. Tip: If you’re on a list of teachers, you will automatically be provided with a shortcut to the course on your own start page.

Tests

In a test collection, you can create automatically corrected or teacher-corrected tests with various types of questions, such as fill in the blank, multiple choice, questionnaires, and recording audio. You decide whether the test is to be timed and how many times a student is allowed to take the test.

Topic selection

Topic selection is useful in dealing with the introductory phase of essay writing. Here you can upload elective topics and students can divide into groups.

Wiki

Via a wiki students and teachers can work on the same document. Wikis are especially useful for group work and collaborative learning. As a teacher you can also monitor your students’ work and provide continuous feedback via the wiki’s Comment function. See guide about Wiki (in Swedish)

Functions must be activated by a teacher or course
administrator. Please note. For each function there is a detailed description available via the function help (the icon ) in the portal and also in the left menu when you are logged in as an administrator or teacher.

Students in a certain part of a course section (not yet implemented); and

Groups within a course section.

Functions cannot always be used in all contexts. The interface
makes it clear which functions can be selected. An example: A course registration can only be added to a course section while a document collection can be added to all levels of a course.

Students always have access to the information in the Portal via
his/her course page, regardless of whether the information is at the
department, course, course section, joint study sections, or part of a
course section.

Functions connected to a programme/specialization are displayed via the student's programme page.

The role of the administrator decides where a function can be added. An example: A Course section administrator can only add/edit/remove functions in the course sections under the department he/she has been authorized to work with. Read more about Authorization and roles under the Help tab.
Each function can be reached via the tab Education > Overviews. Here the function link is shown using an abbreviation, for example BB for Bulletin board.

Function
abbreviations

The column name is an abbreviation of the function:
* = Several functions of the same sort

Display and status

It is common to all functions that you can choose to limit the
displaying of the function via an interval of dates and time and by
limiting the display to certain groups.

Functions can also have varying status. These settings are determined when you add a new function or in the Edit mode.

Limiting display by date and time

If you want students to see the function only for a limited period
of time, you can limit the display using an interval of dates and
time.

You can also choose to enter only a "from” date or only a "through” date for the link to be displayed.

Dates may be entered as yyyy-mm-dd, yymmdd, yy-mm-dd, but the Student Portal always displays dates as yyyy-mm-dd.

Time has to be entered hh:mm, for example 23:59.

Limiting the display to certain groups

Students in a course may be divided into groups that were created
via the portal, such as teaching groups. If there are groups within the
course you can choose to display the function only to one or a few
specific groups.

Status

The function can have varying status:

Draft – the function is visible only to administrators.

Portal – the function is displayed to authorized students in the portal, for example, all students in a course section.

Portal and Public – the function is visible to everyone, i.e. also people who are not logged in.

restored.

Add the same function in several places

It is possible to use the same function for several departments,
courses, or course sections at the same time. This is done from the
overviews.

Click on the link "Add the same function” from overviews (visible only if you have the proper role)

Select the function in the drop-down menu.

Mark the course sections/courses/programmes/departments where the function is to be used.

Click on Select.

Then work with the function as usual.

Please note: When you edit a function that is used
in multiple
places, such as Course A, Course B, and Course C, this affects
all fields simultaneously. Removing a function by clicking
“Remove” will only affect the functions of the the field you
wish to remove e.g. Course A from its current place.

On the function's Contents page it is shown whether the function is used for several places.
To add or remove a course section click Edit when on the Content page. Click Add to others and
choose where to add or remove the function.

Copy content

In the Student Portal you can create a copy of an existing function,
such as a forum or a web page. This can be useful
if you have many functions you wish to reuse or copy specific parts
of. You can also copy course information and flexible menu.

Copy

Open the course, program, etc. you want to copy the function to.

Click on Copy in the menu.

Click on the name of the course section, program, etc. you want to copy the contents from. The overview shows course sections from the previous semester. If there are course sections with the same course code you used when you started the copying, only these will be shown in the table. If you want to see all course sections, click on the ‘Show all course sections’ button. If you are copying between programs, all programs are always shown.

The Copy page will now appear. Here you can click on the Copy all button (this will copy the flexible menu, course information, and all functions) or select individual functions in the table and click on Copy selection.

Confirm the copying.

A confirmation page will now appear, with a list of the functions copied.

Please note: After copying, all functions are in draft status. Open the function and select Edit to
change this status. Certain functions may require information, since only some elements can be copied.

Rules for what is copied/function

Bulletin board: The copy will be an empty bulletin board. Messages will not be copied.

Chat: The copy will be an empty chat. Messages will not be copied.

Content page: Everything will be copied.

Course evaluation: The name, information,
and questions from the course evaluation are copied. Questions
belonging to the department retain their reference after copying.
Questions created for the course section, will become copies. The
date when the course evaluation starts and ends, as well as Course
report, Results, and any comments from the department will not be
copied.
Please note: Course evaluations can only be copied between course sections within the same department.

Course registration: Everything will be copied except starting and ending dates for registration and date for course start.

Document collection: The catalogue structure and files in a Document collection will be copied
only if the Document collection is of the course materials type. The structure and files will not be copied in group works.

Examination registration: Everything will be copied except the course code, examination code, and students registered.

Group divisions: Everything will be copied except the registered students.

Any limitations stipulated in the function, such as the function
being displayed only to a special group or during a specific period of
time, will not be copied.

Limitations

It is only possible to copy functions within same
“level,” that is, between two course sections or two
programmes. You cannot copy a function between a course
level and a course section.

It is possible to copy functions between:

Course section/joint section – Course section/joint section;

Course section component - Course section component;

Course - Course;

Department - Department; and

Programme - Programme.

All functions can be copied between departments as long as it
belongs to the same "level” and the administrator is authorized to
work with both departments except Course evaluations. Course evaluations
can only be copied between course sections within the same
department.

Please note: It is possible to copy functions across
semesters.

Copy a flexible menu

It is possible to copy a flexible menu structure (with or without functions) from one course section to another. It is only possible to copy a flexible menu to a course section that doesn't have a flexible menu. If the course section you wish to copy a flexible menu to already has a flexible menu, you restore* that menu to a classic menu, before you copy the new flexible menu onto it. This only regards the menu's structure. It is always possible to copy functions no matter what type of menu the course section has.

Practical tip! If you click Copy all content you will copy all content (flexible menu, course information and all functions).

Open your course section. (Check that it has a classic menu structure or restore it to a classic menu structure).

Click Copy in the menu.

Choose the course section, with the flexible menu you wish to copy, in the list.

Click the button Copy all content to copy the flexible menu, course information and all functions. The functions that are part of a menu block keeps their places. You may also choose to mark the box for the flexible menu in the table and then click the button Copy selected if you only wish to copy the menu structure.

Confirm the copying.

Now you have the menu blocks and, depending on your choices, functions in the course section.

Functions on an another level does not keep their places in the menu but ends up at the bottom of the list of freestanding functions. Subsequently the teacher/administrator can move it to any place in the menu. This regards functions on course level that are inherited to the course section, functions on course section level that are inherited to the course section elements and functions on a programme level that are inherited to the programme specialisations.

*When you restore the menu from a flexible menu to a classic one, it is irreversible.

You can practise working with flexible menus in the Student Portal's demo environment, please see the tab Help > Test the Student Portal.

Restore deleted functions

When a function is deleted, it always winds up in the recycle bin (except for flexible menu). The function is only shown to the person who created/deleted the function.

The recycle bin is found in the menu on the course section, joint section, course, programme, and department page. The function remains in the recycle bin for seven days and can easily be restored.

Open the start page for a course section/joint section/course/course section element/programme/department.

Click the Recycle bin in the menu. In the recycle bin you find the functions removed the last seven days.

Click the link Restore for the function you wish to restore.

If a function cannot be restored, the reason may be that only one (1) function of that kind is allowed per course section.

You cannot empty the Recyle bin manually. Only the Student Portal can clean the Recycle bin.

Assignment

The Assignment function enables students to upload files for the teacher to assess and send off for a plagiarism check. It can be an individual assignment or a group assignment. The teacher and the student can also communicate with each other and see an Event log via an assignment.

If group assignment is activated, the group name will appear instead of the students’ names in the assignment overview.

Each group has its own assignment page where the students included in the group can submit files and communicate with the teacher.

Anonymous assignments

In an anonymous assignment each student receives an anonymity code that will be shown instead of the student’s name in the assignment. In this way the teachers will not know who the student is when they grade the assignment. The student’s name, civic registration number and anonymity code are available only to the department administrator.

Create an anonymous assignment:

Add a new assignment.

Select individual assignment.

Check the box "Anonymous assignment".

Save the assignment.

Please note that it is not possible to switch from a regular assignment to an anonymous assignment and vice versa once an assignment has been saved. When you copy an anonymous assignment, the copy will also be marked as anonymous.

New anonymity codes are generated for each new assignment that is created. In other words, students cannot have the same anonymity code for different assignments.

If the assignments are checked for plagiarism, only the students’ anonymity codes will be displayed in the Urkund plagiarism-check system.

If a progress element is linked to an anonymous assignment, only students with status "Completed" will be relayed from the assignment to the progress element.

Unmarked assignments

Via Unmarked assignments teachers can keep tabs on whether there are assignments that need to be marked. The number of unmarked assignments is shown here (status Submitted and Supplement submitted) for all courses where the teacher is on the list of teachers. You can also see the number of unmarked assignments for each assignment by clicking on the arrow next to the name of the course. Unmarked assignments are shown on the teacher’s start page, and this information is retrieved from all assignments – regardless of semester.

Tip: It is possible to create a rule in Outlook to have all email messages belonging to a certain Assignment gathered in a special folder.

Assignments with plagiarism check

Uppsala University uses the Urkund system to check submitted files for plagiarism. Read more about Urkund.

The teacher/administrator can select whether submitted files are to be checked for plagiarism or not.

Submitted files are sent off to an external system for plagiarism check directly upon submission. Normally the results of the check will be delivered within ca 24 hours.

If files are to be checked for plagiarism, it is important for the submitted files to have the correct file format (.doc, .docx, .sxw, .ppt, .pptx, .pdf, .txt, .rtf, .html, .htm, .wps, .odt) See permissible file formats for plagiarism check.

Status of plagiarism check

If the plagiarism check is turned on for an assignment, the column Plagiarism check will be shown in the assignment table.

When the analysis is completed a significance is shown in colour, indicating how much of the submitted text was found in Urkund’s sources in the search.

Green significance means that no sources were found in the search. Black significance means that the entire document was found somewhere else. A total of 9 different colours indicate from 0% to 100%.

Click on the coloured box to open Urkund’s detailed analysis in its own browser window. This analysis is on Urkund’s server. See Urkund support for more information.

In the last two cases the status is a clickable link that leads to Urkund’s detailed report for the document in question. This report is on Urkund’s server.

The student will receive confirmation via email that his or her file has been sent in for plagiarism check.

Assignment overview

An assignment comprises all students on the course section/joint section list of participants.

Limiting the display of a distributed folder to group:
If there are groups on the course section/joint section, it is possible to limit the display of a distributed folder to the group by selecting the group/groups in the list. This can be handy if students in a particular group should read each other's submissions without seeing the files submitted by students in other groups. Remember that students also need access to the Assignment to see the distributed folder.

Indicate whether only files with the status of Completed and Completed following supplementation are to be shown.

Click on Save.

If a student removes a file from My submission that is also shown in a Distributed folder this file will be removed from both places.

Deleting a Distributed folder

Open the Distributed folder.

Click on Delete.

Select if the comment / file should appear immediately (default) or later.

Click on Send.

Please note that you can choose only to upload a file or only to write a comment.

Future events will appear at the top of the Event log. The event is gray and can be published at once or deleted.

Uploading a student file

If a student cannot upload his/her file, a teacher/administrator can upload the file for the student.

Open the Assignment function.

Click on the student’s name on the list.

The student’s Assignment page will now appear.

Click on the Browse button in the blue box and find the file on your computer. If Plagiarism check is to be performed, it is important for the submitted file to have the proper file format. When a file has been uploaded, another Browse button will appear.

Select the option Upload file received from a student.

Click on Send.

If Plagiarism check is to be performed, it is important for the submitted file to have the proper file format.

Deleting comments/files

An administrator/teacher can delete comments and files via the Event log. Instruction files can be deleted via the Assignment overview. Click on the delete icon next to the file to do so.

A student can always remove submitted files from My submission. Deleted files will always be saved in the Events log. A student can only restore a deleted file if:

deadline date for submission has not passed

the submission is not marked as Completed or Completed following supplementation

Students cannot delete comments.

Link between Progress and Assignment

Via a Progress page a teacher/administrator can link a Progress element to an Assignment. The status and score for the student’s assignment will then be automatically relayed from Assignment to the Progress element.

Creating a link

To link a Progress element to an Assignment, there must be an Assignment for the same course section/joint section as the Progress element.

The link is always created via a Progress element.

Please note: As soon as you link a Progress element to an Assignment, the progress that was already filled in for the element at hand will be deleted and replaced by the status of the assignment. If you have already filled in progress for the element and want to link it to an assignment, we recommend that you first print out the progress BEFORE you set up the link.

Create a new Progress element or open an existing one and select Edit.

Each element contains a Link element to Assignment feature. Select which Assignment the Progress element is to be linked to via the dropdown menu.

Enter the point scale, if any, for the Progress element (otherwise only the status will be relayed from the Assignment to the Progress element).

Save the Progress element.

The column heading for the element contains the name of the element and the name of the Assignment that the element is linked to.

If the Assignment already contains status and score this information will be directly relayed to the Progress element.

Relaying status and scores

Once a Progress element has been linked to an Assignment, the status and score for a student can only be entered via Assignment. In the Progress element these options will be locked. On the other hand, you can write comments and use the Supplemented checkbox in the Progress element.

Since there are more status options in Assignment than in Progress, the following translation applies:
Not submitted = If the student has not submitted an Assignment, no status will be shown in Progress. On the other hand, if the teacher selects the "Not submitted" status and saves the status, "Did not participate" will be shown as the status in Progress.

If the Progress element contains a point scale, such as 1-50, and there is a link to an Assignment, it is this point scale that applies to the Assignment. The Assignment contains information about which points scale applies, and a warning will be shown if the scores entered are not valid in the Progress point scale.

Anonymous assignment and relaying of results
If a progress element is linked to an anonymous assignment, only students with status "Completed" and "Unsatisfactory achievement" will be relayed from the assignment to the progress element.

Tip! If the assignment is anonymous, it can be handy to use scores when grading a submission. The score will be relayed to the progress element and will also be displayed when reporting grades.

Removing a link

You can remove a link between an element and an Assignment. You do so by selecting the blank option in the dropdown menu for Link element to Assignment. If the status from the Assignment to the element has already been relayed, this information remains in place, but the element will be "unlocked" and the teacher will be able to change the status and score.

If an Assignment is removed and this Assignment is linked to a Progress element, the link to Progress will disappear.

Via an Assignment, you as a student can upload a file and/or write a comment to your teacher. The teacher can also respond to your comment. All comments are displayed in the Event log.

Tip! Via My studies > Assignments you can see a compilation of all your assignments. This provides an overview of which assignments have been completed and which ones remain to be done for the various courses. The overview shows the current status for each respective Assignment with direct links to Course section and Assignment.

Write a comment and/or upload file

Write a comment.

Click on the Browse button in the blue box and find the file on your computer. If Plagiarism check is to be performed, it is important for the submitted file to have the proper file format. See permissible file formats for plagiarism check. When a file has been uploaded, another Browse button will appear.

Click on Send.

Please note that you can choose only to upload a file or only to write a comment.

Self-evaluations

Assignments linked to a portfolio can contain a self-evaluation. Click on Fill in self-evaluation, fill in your responses and then click on Save. You can fill in your responses on multiple occasions up to 30 days after the deadline for submitting the assignment or supplements.

My submission

Your submitted files appear under My submission.

If the teacher chooses to create a Distributed folder these files will be shown to other course participants.

Deleting submitted files

You can always remove submitted files from My submission. Click on the delete icon next to the file to do so.

Removed files can only be restored via the recycle bin if:

deadline date for submission has not passed,

your submission is not marked as Completed or Completed following supplementation.

Deleted files will always be saved in the Events log.

If you remove a file from My submission that is also shown in a Distributed folder this file will be removed from both places (after your approval).

Comments cannot be removed.

Status for assignment

An assignment can have various Status – which also determines the color of the status icon. The following status options are available:

Not submitted

Submitted

Assessment in progress

Incomplete – under supplementation

Supplement submitted

Completed

Completed following supplementation

Anonymous assignment

In an anonymous assignment you will be assigned an anonymity code that will be shown instead of your name. The teacher will thus not know who you are as they grade the assignment.

Depersonalize the document before you submit it!
The document you upload should not contain your name and civic identification number. For the teacher’s convenience it’s a good idea to give your anonymity code instead.

Bear in mind that some word-processing programs register who the author of the document is. Check whether the document contains such information and remove all personal information before you upload your document. Please refer to the instructions for the respective program to do so.

Assignment with Plagiarism check

The teacher/administrator can select whether submitted files are to be checked for plagiarism or not. Submitted files are sent off to an external system for plagiarism check directly upon submission.

If Plagiarism check is to be performed, it is important for the submitted file to have the proper file format (.doc, .docx, .sxw, .ppt, .pptx, .pdf, .txt, .rtf, .html, .htm, .wps, .odt). Read more about plagiarism check.

You will see in the Event log and receive confirmation via email when your file/document has been sent in for plagiarism check.

Distributed files

The teacher can make submitted files visible to other course participants by creating a Distributed folder.

The folder with all the files will appear under the heading of Distributed files. You can download all student files from here.

Remember to delete files that are no longer current from My submission. Otherwise these files will be shown in the Distributed folder. If you remove a file from My submission the file will also be removed from the Distributed folder.

Bulletin boards and
messages

Bulletin boards are used to direct messages to different students,
such as all students at a department, course section, joint
section, or a group. It is possible to attach a file to messages on bulletin boards.

The starting page displays current messages from the
department, ongoing programmes, and courses. Messages are also shown on
the respective course and programme pages.

Add a bulletin
board

If there is no bulletin board, select “Add new
function” and then “Bulletin board.”

If a bulletin board already exists, select “Add new
Bulletin board.”

Please note: Take care to use the right bulletin board. The bulletin
board determines what students will be able to see a message.

Bulletin board for a department: Messages are displayed to all
students at the department.

Bulletin board for a course: Messages are displayed to all course
sections belonging to the course.

Bulletin board for a joint section: Messages are displayed to all
students taking any of the course sections included in the joint
section.

Bulletin board for a course section: Messages are displayed to
the students in the course section.

Bulletin board for a course section/group: Messages are displayed
to students belonging to the group within the course section.

Bulletin board for a course section component: Messages are
displayed to students in the course section component.

Bulletin board for a programme: Messages are displayed to students
taking the programme.

Name of bulletin board

The name of a bulletin board is shown only to the administrator so
that she/he can distinguish between different bulletin boards. A bulletin board will automatically be named "Bulletin
board” unless you enter an alternative name.

Note that the student never sees the bulletin boards or the
name of the bulletin board but only the messages that are relevant to
the student. All messages are always listed under the heading "Messages"
at the start- course and programme pages.

Limit to groups

Bulletin boards for a course section can be used to direct
messages to different groups within the course. In the Student Portal
the students in a course section can be divided into teaching groups.
An example of this is when students are divided in groups the
teacher/administrator can choose to have the messages on a bulletin
board be visible to certain group(s). The Student Portal lists the
groups belonging to the course section, allowing the
teacher/administrator to mark the relevant ones.

Click on “Save” and the bulletin board will be
created.

Create new message

Open the Bulletin board. If no bulletin board exists to direct
messages to the students, you have to create one, see Add a bulletin board.

Click on the button "New message” that appears on the Bulletin
board.

Fill in Heading and text in Swedish and/or in English. If you leave the English text field blank when creating a new message,
only the Swedish field will appear and vice versa.

Upload ev. file to be displayed in conjunction with the message.

Limit display:
You can enter publication time-span for the message. This is
done by entering a “from” date or only a “through” date for the
message. Leave this blank if the message is to be shown immediately.

Select status:
Draft - the message is not shown to
students.
Portal - the message is shown to authorized
student.
Portal and public - the message is also shown
to users who are not logged on.

Click on Save.

If the bulletin board is limited to certain groups, messages cannot
be shown publicly since group information only exists inside the
Student Portal.

Edit the message

Under each message there is the link "Edit the message”. Click on
the link to edit that particular message. Information about the time
when the change was made and who made it is saved and shown in the
administrator's interface.

Messages appear in chronological order in the student
interface. A new message appears at the top of the list of messages.
Please note that an edited message will have the same order as before
the change. To put an older message at the top of the list please mark Save as new message, show it at top of the message list.

Remove the message

Under each message there is a link "Remove the message”. Click on
the link to remove that particular message. You can remove a message
whenever you want, and it will then disappear immediately from the
student interface.

Please note: If the same bulletin board is used in multiple places
in the Portal, for example by two course sections, the messages will disappear for all the students.

Display and sender
of messages

Uploaded a messages are shown on the student's starting and
course page. Note that students never see the bulletin boards but only
the messages relevant to them. All messages are always listed under the
heading "Messages".

The administrator's starting page shows messages that have been sent to
students from bulletin boards connected with the department. The
administrator's course section page shows all messages the student sees
on his/her corresponding course page.

Sender

Besides the heading and text of the message, all messages have a
sender. It consists of the name of the department or the course,
depending on what bulletin board the message was sent from. The date
the message was sent is also included. For Example,
Heading
Message text
SENDER: Department of Mathematics [2009-09-11].

It is possible to insert a link in a message and in that way connect to
a document in a Document collection, a webpage, etc. Select the words that will be the clickable link. Click on the link symbol in the editor, type the address and click OK.

Edit bulletin board

If necessary, you can edit the name and display to groups. Click on
the link "Edit” next to Bulletin board. Information about the time when
the change was made and who made it is saved and shown in the
administrator's interface.

Note that if you change which groups within a course section are able
to see the message, all messages – even those posted previously
– will only be shown to students belonging to the groups
selected.

Remove bulletin board

When you remove a bulletin board, all messages on it disappear as
well. Click on the link "Remove” next to Bulletin board.

Note that if the same bulletin board is used in several places in
the portal, e.g. for two course sections, the bulletin board is removed

the capturing of the students' progress in each component. Students
only see her/his progress.

The Progress function allows for creating a Report for a result list to be submitted to Uppdok.

Add Progress

Name of Progress

In the students’ menu the Progress name will be dislayed under the title Progress. It can therefore be a good idea to name individual Progress items.

Description

You can describe your Progress and how it will be used.

To create short link names in the text, you write:
[linkname|http://www.example.net] The "link name" will then be the
clickable link in the text.

Components

The Student Portal automatically shows two components, but it is
possible to add more.

Enter a name for the component and what % the component is
worth.

Specify the order in which the component is shown. If
the field is left blank, the components will be sorted in alphabetical
order.

Indicate whether the component is part of a course
component. This is done by linking the component to an examination code
in Uppdok via the drop-down menu for the respective component. It is
possible to link several components to the same course component. Read more about Report for result list.

Points

It is possible to have a numerical scale connected to each
component. State the points that will apply for all Progress components.
Exemple: If min is 1 and max is 5 the scale will be 1,2,3,4,5.

Supplement

The checkbox Supplemented makes it possible to note
that the student has completed the component but has done so in
another way, e.g. by submitting an assignment instead of participating
in a seminar.

Following options are available:

Deleted functions go to the Recycle bin in the menu. It remains in the recylce bin for sevan days and can easily be restored.

Display of the list´s participants and columns

The page contains all students on the list of
participants for the course section/joint section and all the
components that have been defined.

Display of lists of participants
If a course section contains groups, you can choose which groups are to be shown by selecting one or more groups on the list. You can also choose to display participants on the list on the basis of scores and status.

Click on the Display of list of participants heading.

Check the box for the groups you wish to display. You can also choose to display participants on the list on the basis of scores and status.

Click on the Update button.

The search function
You can choose which participants are to be displayed by entering a word of your choice in the search field for the list of participants. For example, if you enter Anna, only participants named Anna will be shown. This is convenient if you want to work with one student at a time.

Displaying the list’s columns and elements
You can choose what information about the participants you want to display, such as name, civic registration number, group, programme specialisation and registration semester. You can also choose which elements are to be shown – which can be convenient if Progress has multiple elements.

Click on the Display of list columns heading.

Select one or several columns/components in the lists.

Click on the Update button. The columns/elements you selected will now be displayed.

TIP: If the Progress table is still wide, you can maximise the window by clicking on the icon in the upper right-hand corner.

If you still have to scroll sideways and have many participants, you can use the arrow keys, so you won’t have to scroll to see the scrolling list first. Also, bear in mind that you can reduce the number of participants via the search function so that the horizontal scrolling list will be visible directly, without your having to scroll down to the bottom of the page.

The Progress table can by sorted by all columns you have chosen to display. You do this by clicking on the name of each column.

Progress and reregistered students

When a student is reregistered, his/her status does not transfer from previous Progress elements another course section. If the student is reregistered multiple times, the student may have completed some elements here and some elements there.

When a student is reregistered, it’s recommended that the administrator transfers status for Progress elements to the current course section. This enables the student, teacher and course administrator to get an overall view of the respective student.Tip: The department administrators and grade-reporting teachers can see an overall student history for a student’s Admissions, Registrations, Assignments, and Progress. This makes it easier to transfer status for Progress. Read more in the guide Reregistrations (only in Swedish)

Tip: It’s possible to see in what semester the student was registered for the first time in Progress (choose to display the column “Registered semester”). It will then be easier to bear in mind that a student has been reregistered and that the student may have Progress elements from another course section.

Enter the student's progress

Open the Progress.

Click in the cell for a component and student.

Enter progress Submitted, Incomplete, Completed or Did not participate.

Fill in points, supplement and comment.

Click on Save.

Padlock: Reported components will be displayed with a padlock in the progress table and cannot be changed in the Student Portal.

Info-icon: The info-icon shows the name of the student and information about when and by whom a certain progress component was registered or when a comment was written or changed.

Already reported as passed in Uppdok: In those cases, when the progress is created and a student already reported as passed in Uppdok, there is no possibility to indicate progress for the student.Already reported as passed in Uppdok appears in the cell.

Progress that has been reported to Uppdok via the Report for a result list cannot be changed and is marked with a padlock.

The info-icon shows the students name and information about when and by who a certain progress component was registered or
when a comment was written or changed.

Register progress for many students at the same time by
doing the following:

Mark the students in question.

Select component and
status via the drop-down menus under the heading Enter progress for selected students.

Click on Update.

Comments and scores

It is also possible to write comments and enter points per component and
student. This is done by clicking on the cell of that component. Don’t forget to Save.

It is possible to have a comment for the entire progress that appears on the far right of each student. You can choose if you want this comment to be visible to students.

To simplify the reporting of grades, comments and scores for resp. Progress elements are now displayed on the grading sheet. Also shown here are the total scores for all elements included in the examination code.

The student's view

The student sees only her/his row of the Progress table. It shows
which components have been submitted, completed or incomplete, along with any comments from the teacher. She/he can also
see the progress entry dates.

Report for result list

In the Progress function it is possible to create a Report for a result list
to be submitted to Uppdok. In this way it is possible to report
student grades in batches without having to create new lists in Uppdok.

Only a Grade-reporting teacher is authorized to create report for result lists.

Progress and Examination sets

Progress uses the course code of the course section and the starting semester of the course section to retrieve the right set of examination codes.

Example: For a course with three sets of examination codes, associated with semesters Spring 2010, Spring 2013 and Spring 2015, respectively, Student Portal will retrieve the codes that are associated with Spring 2013 for a course section with Autumn 2014 as the starting semester.

Altered examination set and reporting results via Progress

If the set of examinations has been altered, results for reregistered students must be reported via the Progress function and the examination code that applied when the student registered the first time.

Tip: Choose to display the column “Registered semester” in Progress to see which semester has the right set of examinations for reregistered students.

Create Report for result list

Create a Progress and link one or more progress
elements to a course component via the drop-down menu for the
respective element.

When one or more students have the status Completed for all elements linked to an examination code or if one or more students have the status Unsatisfactory achievement the heading Report for result list will be displayed to a Grade-reporting teacher.

Select which examination code you want to create a result list for and click on Create.

Now a list will be displayed with students who have the progress status Completed alt. Unsatisfactory achievement for all elements linked to the selected examination code.

To simplify the reporting of grades, comments and scores for resp. Progress elements are displayed on the grading sheet. Also shown here are the total scores for all elements included in the examination code.

Enter the grade, examination score, and grading date for
each student. Tip: At the bottom of the page you can enter the grading
date and the grades for a number of students simultaneously.

Enter the email address to the Uppdok contact at the
department. This is important because it notifies the contact that
there is a grading report to be retrieved from Uppdok.

Click on Save.

When you are finished, you select all students on the list via the link Select all and click on Submit. The result report will then be submitted to Uppdok.

The Uppdok administrator at the department receives an email message which states that the list is available in Uppdok.

Reported components will be displayed with a padlock in the progress table and cannot be changed in the Student Portal. Reported components with a failing grade (the status Unsatisfactory achievement) will be displayed with an open padlock in the progress table and can be changed in the Student Portal.

The grade U via Progress

It is possible to submit a failing grade, U, via Progress. If a Progress element is linked to an examination code and the student has the status “Unsatisfactory achievement”, the teacher reporting grades can enter a U for that examination code. Grades are reported as usual via a grading sheet that is submitted to Uppdok.

Reported components with a failing grade (the status Unsatisfactory achievement) will be displayed with an open padlock in the progress table and can be changed in the Student Portal.

Open saved result list

Reports for result lists are not found among other result lists at the department. A saved result list is opened via Progress in the same way it was created.

Open the Progress.

Select the examination code in the drop-down menu at Report for result list.

Click on Create to open the result list.

Linkage between Progress and Assignments

Via a Progress page a teacher/administrator can link a Progress element to an Assignment. The status and score for the student’s assignment will then be automatically relayed from Assignment to the Progress element.

Creating a link

To link a Progress element to an Assignment, there must be an Assignment for the same course section/joint section as the Progress element.

The link is always created via a Progress element.

Please note: As soon as you link a Progress element to an Assignment, the progress that was already filled in for the element at hand will be deleted and replaced by the status of the assignment. If you have already filled in progress for the element and want to link it to an assignment, we recommend that you first print out the progress BEFORE you set up the link.

Create a new Progress element or open an existing one and select Edit.

Each element contains a Link element to Assignment feature. Select which Assignment the Progress element is to be linked to via the dropdown menu.

Enter the point scale, if any, for the Progress element (otherwise only the status will be relayed from the Assignment to the Progress element).

Save the Progress element.

The column heading for the element contains the name of the element and the name of the Assignment that the element is linked to.

If the Assignment already contains status and score this information will be directly relayed to the Progress element.

Relaying status and scores

Once a Progress element has been linked to an Assignment, the status and score for a student can only be entered via Assignment. In the Progress element these options will be locked. On the other hand, you can write comments and use the Supplemented checkbox in the Progress element.

Since there are more status options in Assignment than in Progress, the following translation applies:
Not submitted = If the student has not submitted an Assignment, no status will be shown in Progress. On the other hand, if the teacher selects the "Not submitted" status and saves the status, "Did not participate" will be shown as the status in Progress.

If the Progress element contains a point scale, such as 1-50, and there is a link to an Assignment, it is this point scale that applies to the Assignment. The Assignment contains information about which points scale applies, and a warning will be shown if the scores entered are not valid in the Progress point scale.

Anonymous assignment and relaying of results
If a progress element is linked to an anonymous assignment, only students with status "Completed" and "Unsatisfactory achievement" will be relayed from the assignment to the progress element.

Tip! If the assignment is anonymous, it can be handy to use scores when grading a submission. The score will be relayed to the progress element and will also be displayed in the result list.

Removing a link

You can remove a link between an element and an Assignment. You do so by selecting the blank option in the dropdown menu for Link element to Assignment. If the status from the Assignment to the element has already been relayed, this information remains in place, but the element will be "unlocked" and the teacher will be able to change the status and score.

If an Assignment is removed and this Assignment is linked to a Progress element, the link to Progress will disappear.

Print Progress

Printing a Progress report with multiple components can be tricky. It will be helpful to use your browser’s Preview function.

Select File > Preview in your browser menu

This shows what the Progress report will look like when printed

Make any adjustments needed to make room for the entire Progress report. For example, you can:

change how the page is to be scaled in %

switch from portrait to landscape format

change from A4 to A3

Click on Print

Close Preview to return to Progress

If you still can’t make room for all components, you can choose to print a few components at a time:

Select the components you want to print (hold down the Ctrl key while you select the components in the list at "Show columns and components" to select several components at once)

Via Progress the teacher can set up the different
components/assignments of the course and enter your progress, such as
whether you have completed a component or not.

Please note: Your Progress does not show grades. These are always shown under the tab My studies> View study results.

TIP! Via My studies > Progress you can see a compilation of all your Progress elements. This provides you with an overview of which elements have been completed and which ones remain to be done for the various courses. The overview shows the current status for each respective Progress element with direct links to Course section and Progress.

Groups

The Group division function in Student Portal makes it possible to divide students in a course section or a joint section into different groups. For example, these might be groups for teaching, field trips and excursions.

Grouping of participants is done either by signing up (students sign themselves up) or by the administrator/teacher dividing up the students – manually or randomly.

Students see their groups via the link My groups on the course page. Found here is information targeting the group as well as a list of participants in the group.

Group work in the course

If there are groups in Student Portal, the teacher can create functions that are only displayed to each respective group. In this way each group can have its own discussion forum and Document collection for group work, etc. It is also possible to set up links to a chat room in the e-meeting tool Adobe Connect if the group needs to communicate via the Net.

A teacher/administrator can furthermore create a group assignment by linking a group division to an assignment – in this way each group can submit its own assignments and get feedback from the teacher, see the Assignment function for more information.

Adding a group division

A Group division can be added from a course section and a joint section.

Click on Add function in the menu on the relevant course section/joint section.

Select Group division from the dropdown menu and click on OK.

Then fill in the following information about the Group divisions:

Name

Give the Group division a name. If students are to sign up for a group or groups, they will see the name of the Group division in connection with signing up.

Description

The description of the Group division is displayed to both students and administrators/teachers.

Creating groups

Click on the Create groups button.

Enter how many groups you want to create.

Enter the name(s) of the group(s), e.g. Teaching group

Enter the start value for the name sequence, e.g. A. The group names will now be Teaching group A, Teaching B, etc.

Fill in an information text to be shown in connection with each group (same text for all groups). If the information texts are to be different for each respective group, it will be easy to change them once the groups have been created.

Max No. of participants: Enter how many participants may take part in each group.
This means that no more students will be able to sign up for the group or be randomly assigned to the group once the maximum number has been reached. On the other hand, the administrator can add extra participants manually. No limit: Leave the field blank if there is no limit. Even distribution: If you want an even distribution of the maximum number of participants, select the Even distribution option. Then the maximum number of participants will be calculated automatically, so if you have 50 participants and 5 groups, the max value will be 10 participants/group.

Select whether the groups are to be timetabled or not.
If a group is marked as timetabled the group will be available in the timetabling system TimeEdit. This makes it possible to create timetables for individual groups. Students belonging to the group will then see timetable events via the My timetable tab in Student Portal. The administrator interface will display links to each respective timetable.

Click on the Create button.

The groups will now be displayed in the table. It is possible to change names, information, etc. for each group in the table directly.

Grouping participants

Choose whether the administrator/teacher is to divide the students into groups or the students are to sign up for a group.

If the students are to sign up on their own, you can to enter a deadline for signing up and to add a text to be displayed to students in connection with signing up.

Group participants are based on the participant list for each respective course section/joint section.

Hidden groups

If the teacher / administrator divide students into groups, the groups can be marked as "hidden groups". Students who belong to a hidden group will not see the group and its members under My Groups. It is possible to limit the display of a function to a hidden group. However, you can not add a group assignment based on a group division with hidden groups.

Include admitted students

Check this box to include admitted students in the groups. Note! Admitted students do not see their groups until they are registered for the course. Unregistered students are not automatically removed from the group of participants . This type of group is recommended for those who work with VFU.

Limiting display in the portal

By dates: If you want the students to be able to see the link to group
registration for a limited time only, you can limit the display by
setting an interval of dates and time.

You can also choose to enter only a from date or only
a through date for displaying the link.

To certain groups: Students can already belong to other groupings within a course section.
If defined groups already exist, you can choose to show the link only
to a certain group(s).

Group divisions with groups

Every group division has an overview that shows all the groups. The group name is a link to the group. If you click the icon in front of the group name, the names of all the participants will be shown.

Group participants

Participants in groups are always based on the list of participants for the respective course section/joint section.

The administrator/teacher can add or remove students from groups as long as the student is registered for the course section.

Please note that a student can only be included in one group within one and the same Group division.

Open the relevant Group division via the menu.

Click on the Group participants button.

Open the relevant Group division via the menu.

Click on the Group participants button.

Click on the Random grouping button.

Click on Save.

Note: If some students have already chosen a group, they can keep their choices and will not be assigned a new group via random grouping. In other words, the teacher could first let the students themselves choose their groups and then, after the deadline, randomly distribute students who had not chosen a group. This is practical if, for instance, students show up later and you wish to distribute them among existing groups.

If necessary, the teacher can change group membership of students manually.

Erasing group membership

It is possible to remove the group membership of all students at once.

Click on the Restore button.

Students will see via the start page for the course if there are any groups they are supposed to sign up for.

Signing-up information entered by the administrator or teacher will be shown in connection with signing up for a group. Signing-up will also be displayed under Important dates if there is a deadline set.

Students see their groups via the link My groups on the course page. They will see any information directed to the group and the list of group participants along with their email addresses.

If the administrator/teacher removes a Group division, the My groups link will also disappear directly from the student interface (unless the student belongs other groups).

Re-registered
students

If a student has been marked in Uppdok as not being entitled to take
part in classes because she/he is re-registered, then she/he will not
be able to sign up for a group. However, the administrator can add the
student to a group despite this notation.

The link My groups is shown in the course menu. The groups you belong to are shown on that page. The group name is a link to the list of all group members.

Group division and sign up

Groups within courses can be created in different ways:

The teacher/administrator can divide the students in a course into different groups.

The students can sign up for the groups that the teacher/administrator has defined.

Current group registrations are visible on your course page with a link to the form. Once signed up, the group will be visible in the My groups on your course menu.

You can de-register and change groups as long as Register is visible on your course page.

If there is a deadline set for signing up, no registration can take place after that date.

The teacher/administrator can set a maximum number
of participants per group. You cannot sign up for a group once the
maximum has been reached.

The department can determine in the Student Portal
that certain information is only available to a certain group or
groups. The course page for two students in the same course can
therefore look different if they belong to different groups within the
course.

Course registration

It is possible to add information about course registration,
course start and contact details per course section via the function Course registration
- regardless of whether the registration is done in the Student Portal
or via a roll call. This information is also available on the public
course pages of the Student Portal.

Course registration via the Student Portal

Students admitted to a course section can register via the Student
Portal. Registrations are automatically transferred to Uppdok, where the person in charge of Uppdok at the department
secures them in Uppdok.

The advantage for students is that they can register via the
Student Portal according to their preference during the registration period
and they will have access to Web based information before the start of the
course.

Registered students

When the student has registered via the Student Portal but has not
yet been registered with Uppdok, date and time appears in the column "CR” in
the list of admitted students. The department sees these registrations
in Uppdok,
where they are shown as a prepared registration list. Definitive
registration in Uppdok is done by the department.

Students cannot de-register via the portal, but must contact the
department as usual.

Course registration via roll call

It is possible to add a registration that is done via a roll call in the Student Portal.

Information about type of registration is displayed on the
course page and at the overview of the institution's course
registrations. It includes the date, time and place of the roll call
and it is also available on the available on the public course pages
and as well as for admitted students.

Compilation of course registrations

This overview shows a compilation of the activated course
registrations in the Student Portal for the selected department and
semester. Among other things, you can see during what period students
can register, the date the course starts, and what stipulations apply
for students admitted conditionally.

About Ping Pong link

Before you use this function, please make sure that an
activity (a course) exists in the learning platform Ping Pong. Students
who belong to the course section can be linked with an activity or to a
user group in Ping Pong. Only a Ping Pong administrator have the
authorization manage activities and groups in Ping Pong.

This Ping Pong link needs to be added to the Portal
before students in a course section will be able to access the
activity or user group in Ping Pong. Information about students
registered for the course section is transferred to Ping Pong every
night. For more information see "Dates”.

Add Ping Pong link

Ping Pong link name

You enter a name for the Ping Pong activity, this link
will be visible to students in the Portal, such as "Ping Pong link”,
“course evaluation” or “To course site in Ping Pong.”

Ping Pong activity or user group code

Each activity (course) has a unique activity code, i.e. an
internal IDnumber. You will see the activity code when you enter the
activity in Ping Pong, that is, in the Web address it will say
“https://pingpong.uu.se/courseId/2806/...” for an activity with the
code=2806. Enter this code in the field for “Code for Ping Pong
activity” in the Student Portal.

To link up to a so-called user group in Ping Pong’s
administrative section, you write “group:groupcode”, instead of the
activity code, where the group code is the internal ID number for the
corresponding user group in Ping Pong. To be able to see user group
codes, you need to have administrative rights in Ping Pong.

Reuse of Ping Pong codeIf the same activity code is associated with more
than one course section during the same semester, students from all of
these course sections will be added to the Ping Pong activity.

If the activity code from a previous semester is reused in
the current semester, all users associated with the activity code
during previous semester will be removed from the activity in Ping
Pong. If you do NOT want to remove these students, select one of the
following options:

OR create a user group in Ping Pong and associate it to
the Ping Pong activity. Then, create a Ping Pong link using the
"group code" option from the current semester to the user group.

Limit display in the portal

Date
If you want students to be able to see the link only for a
limited period of time, you can limit its display using date
intervals. Leave this blank if the link is to be seen immediately.

You can also choose to enter only a “starting” date or only a “through” date for displaying the link.

Please note: Importing students from
the Student Portal into Ping Pong always takes place
at 4:00 a.m., that is, this is the earliest the student can
enter the activity in Ping Pong regardless of the time stated
in Student Portal.

It may be useful to know that if you set a
“starting” date as 2012-12-01, the student will see
the link in Student Portal on 2012-12-01 at one minute after midnight but the student will not have access to the activity/group in Ping Pong until 4.00a.m. that day.

If you set both the date and the time, e.g. 2012-12-01 3:00 p.m.,students will see the link in Student Portal at 3:00p.m. the same day, but they will not have access to the activity in Ping Pong until the following morning 2012-12-02 at 4.00 a.m.

The most common type of Ping Pong link is the case when a
Ping Pong activity only has access from a single course in the Student
Portal. A "through" date for the Ping Pong link makes it nvisible to
the student after this date, but the student data and material which
she/he has created still remains in the Ping Pong activity.

The case when the Ping Pong code is used in multiple course
sections in the Student Portal, implies that students and their data
vanish in some Ping Pong activities, if some of the activities links
have “through” dates, but not others. Only those students associated
to Ping Pong links with no “through” dates still remain in the Ping Pong
activity.

Do not activate "through” dates for any Ping Pong link
using a Ping Pong code that is used in more than one course section. In
general, we recommend you to avoid "through” dates in the Ping Pong
link.

Groups
It is possible to limit the display of a Ping Pong link to one
group or more in the Portal. Only students belonging to the group(s)
will be transferred and linked to the activity or user group in Ping
Pong. If there are no students in one of the groups in the Portal, all
students in the course section will be transferred and linked to the
activity or user group in Ping Pong.

Edit Ping Pong link

You can edit a Ping Pong link you previously added.
Information about the time the change was made and who made it is saved
and displayed in the administrator’s interface.

Removing a Ping Pong link

You can remove a Ping Pong link any time you wish, and
the link will then immediately disappear from the student interface as
well.

Please note: If the same Ping Pong link is used
in several places in the portal, such as for two course sections, the
link will be removed only from the course section where the change
is made whereas the other course section(s) can continue to use the
link. You will be alerted if the link is used by multiple places in the
Portal in connection with editing and removal. In such cases you can
also choose to remove the link from all places at once.

Deleted functions go to the Recycle bin in the menu. It remains in the recycle bin for seven days and can easily be restored.

FAQ

A student cannot access Ping Pong in the portal

Information about which students are taking the course is
transferred every night to Ping Pong. A student who registers for the
course will therefore not be able to access the Ping Pong activity
until the day after registration.

How do I get an activity code or a user group code?

You will see the activity code when you enter the activity in Ping Pong, that is, in the Web address it will say “https://pingpong.uu.se/courseId/2806/...” for an activity with the code=2806. To be able to see user group codes, you need to have administrative rights in Ping Pong.

In order to be able to answer questions with recorded audio, students must have Flash installed on their computers. Be sure to ask students to install the program before they start taking the test. This is especially important if you have entered time limits for the question and/or the test.

Questions with images

There are two ways to insert images in a question; as attachment or by the text editor. Please note: We strongly recommend that you always insert the image as an attachment. Images that are inserted via the text editor is displayed only for students of the current course section where you created the question even if the question is a question bank.

Insert image as an attachment

Open the question

Click Add Attachments

Click Browse and upload your picture.

Click on the Continue button

The image is displayed directly in the question for students but appears as an attachment to teachers.

Tip! You can always preview how the issue looks to the student via Preview.

Remember that you can not resize the picture later so it must be the right size when you upload it.

Questions random from Question Pool

A test can contain parts that retrieves questions from a question pool.

If you decide that a part should contain random questions from a question pool, all questions will be worth the same points. You add how much a correct answer is worth after you have selected Radom draw from question pool (when you create a port). If the questions in the question pool have different points, these will be overwritten and replaced by the points you specify for the part.

An assessment that includes questions randomly selected from a question pool should not be exported and imported as new test. When imported, the selection changes from Radom draw from question pool to Questions authored one- by-one and cannot be changed. The random draw from question pool disappears and all questions from the question pool is shown in the test. Any images inserted in a question within a part will not be shown to students either. We therefore recommend that you create a new test with new parts instead.

Question Pools

In Question pools you can store questions that you can reuse in different assessments.

Click on the Add New Pool link or select Import.

Topic selection - Step by step

Step 1: Add Topic Selection

You add the Topic Selection function in the same way as you add other functions in the Student Portal.

Choose a name for the function. It’s
important for the name to be as transparent as possible, something like
“Selection of Topics and Groups for B-level Paper”.

Information

Here
you can choose to write a text that the student will see in his/her
first interface where you explain and delineate the assignment to the
student.

Registration deadline

Students can change groups and topics and close and
open their groups up to the registration date.
After the registration date passed, the existing view is locked and
students can no longer make selections. As administrator,
however, you
can make additions and changes.

Members

Here
you establish the basic principles of how groups should be constituted including the preferred group size.
If it is an individual
paper to be submitted, enter you enter min 1 max 1.

Limit

Here you have the option of
limiting the display of the function.

Select status and Save

Draft - the topic selection is invisible to
students.Portal - the topic selection is visible to authorized
students.

While
you are working with the function and adding topics, you can use draft
status. The function will not be visible to students.

Summary display

Click
on Save (You will now see an overview display where you will see the
name you have chosen for the function. The next step is to start to
fill the function with selectable topics.

Step 2: Create paper topics

Here you decide the number of main topics you want to offer
with the option of adding more at a later stage.

Click on “Add topics”

Give your main topic a name
and a description.

Add Max number of students/groups per topic.
You can limit the number of groups/students that can select the same topic.
This is shown by a counter below on the right-hand side. If the topics
are unlimited, simply leave the box empty. Please note that this number has nothing to do with max number per suptopics.

Click on “Save.”

Subtopics

Click on the link “Add subtopics” in the main topic you want
to divide into subtopics. You create subtopics the same as main
topics.

Step 3: Review students’ selections and make your own corrections

There
are several displays for the administrator to get an overview of the
selections made by students. An administrator can go in personally and
edit all groups and can gather students who have not made a selection.

Show all students

This display lists all students in the course section. The
administrator can see the selected topics and if the groups
are blocked or not. In this display the administrator can also
select the students whom have not chosen a topic and click
on the button
“Create group”.

Edit group

This is largely the same display students see when they
select their topics and create groups. Here you see all members in the
group and whether they have selected a
topic. You can also add “undecided” students from the list of
participants by selecting and clicking on “Add” in the
drop-down menu.
As administrator you can also change free text, status, and
topic
selections.

Show unregistered students

Here you see students who have not yet made a selection.
Create a group by highlighting a number of students and turn them into a
group by clicking on the button “Create group”. This process will take
you to the Edit group display where a topic can be selected for the
group.

Show all groups

This display shows all registered groups according to selected topics.
Groups/individuals who still have not selected a topic are also shown
here. From this display, you can navigate to the Edit group display to make changes as and when required.

Show registered groups

This display shows the groups that have selected a specific topic. From
here, too, you can get to the Edit group display if you want to make
changes.

What do the students see and what do they do?

When the activation date set by the administrator has
passed, students
will see is a link to “Topic selection” in the menu on their
starting page. Here they can access the function name and the
instructions about the number of authors to choose from. Students can
either add members to a group or be selected into a different group.
Once a topic has been picked, the student cannot be incorporated into
another group. Choices can be edited whilst the function is active.

Topic
selection is a function where the student can choose a topic for a
paper and form collective writing groups.

You are free to change groups and topics when the function is still open.

New members to the group can be blocked when the group reaches the minimum number limit set by the teacher.

Step by step

Basic display “My selections”

1. Create group or write independently

This heading indicates the minimum and maximum number that the teacher
has determined for writing papers. Skip this step if you are allowed to write
independently and wish to do so. This function provides two ways to form groups. You can either add
individuals in the course to your group, or you can be added to a group
by someone else.

To
add co-authors you click on “Add” under the Authors heading. A list of
the class will be shown where you can see which individuals have
selected a topic and whether they have blocked their group. You mark
the individuals you want to add to your group and click on the button
“Add to my group”. You can also email your classmates from here.

When
you add authors, they will immediately be shown in the basic display
“My selections” and you can also send an email to your group.

2. Selecting a topic

When
you have selected a group or decided to write independently, you need
to select a topic. You mark the topic that your group wants to write
about. If the group wants to write a comment to the teacher, this can
be done in the free text field. Topics can be changed untill the
function deadline expired. Note that when you have selected a topic you
are no longer available for selection by someone else wishing to add
you to their group.

3. Block the group

When the
group is satisfied with its selections and have met the
requirements for
the minimum number of authors, you can block the group
to new members. This indicates to the teacher and other course
participants
that your selections are completed.

Overview display

As a student, you can also see updates of the groups currently being formed.

Latest events

Latest events lists the most recent events in the courses and programmes of relevance to the logged-on user. For example, this may be a document uploaded to a Document collection, a newly created web page, or a newly published course report.

Display as student

A logged-in administrator/teacher can choose to see Student Portal from a student perspective. In that case, the course section page at hand and other parts of Student Portal will be displayed as seen by a fictitious student.

The following display options are possible:

Registered student

Student admitted

Non-logged-in student

To open Display as student

Select which course section the student is to be registered/admitted for by opening the start page of the course section.

Click on the button Display as student (directly under the name of the course).

The window Display as student shows information about which course section has been selected and that the student is registered for the course.

Via Settings it is possible to change the group the student belongs to and to change the display option registered to admitted or non-logged-in student.

Please note that the student is only registered/admitted for one course at a time. The administrator can switch to another course section by returning to administrator view (closing student view), selecting a new course section, and clicking on Display as student.

Display as student: Joint section

To view a joint section from a student perspective you must open Display as student via any of the course sections involved. You can also see what it looks like for a student belonging to a joint section group by selection the group via Settings.

Settings for student view

Via Settings it is possible to select whether the student is to be registered, admitted, or not logged in.

Next to the alternative Registered student it is possible to select which group the fictitious student is to belong to (if the course section selected has groups). A student in a group sees functions that have been restricted to the selected group as well as functions without group restriction.

Tip: Switch type of student while you are on the start page of the course section. If you are on a page that is only displayed to a registered student and try to switch to a student admitted (or the reverse) an error message will appear, because you are not authorized to see that page.

Always click on Update to activate the new settings.

To close student view

Click on the button Close student view in the upper right-hand corner of the window Display as student to return to administrator view.

Functions and services

Display as student provides a picture of what Student Portal looks like to a fictitious student. As a fictitious student you cannot see content that is personal and related to a certain student – which in turn affects the content of certain functions. Since the fictitious student lacks any registration in Uppdok, services that are dependent on such information will be affected. Information about what is affected is shown in connection with the respective service and function.

Please note that:

The Course registration function can not be displayed as a student admitted since the fictitious student lacks any registration in Uppdok and the text "There is no registration information yet..." is displayed.Tip: Select the setting Non-logged-in student to see what the course registration looks like.

The Discussion forum function cannot be displayed from a student perspective. On the other hand, it is possible to preview a forum via the administrator view, as they are very similar. The only difference between the views is that students do not see the icons for deleting a subject and a comment. Nor can students choose to label a subject they create a subject – something the administrator can do.

The Progress function, Assignment function and Document collection for group work will not display any content, for example the status of the student’s progress/assignment, comments from teachers/administrators or documents.

The Test Folder with assessments cannot be displayed from a student perspective. On the other hand, it is possible to preview an assessment via the administrator view.

The Send email button on the list of participants for a course is not visible to a fictitious student even though it is displayed to a registered student.

The My profile tab is not displayed at all since the fictitious student has no personal information.

The News and Webmail tabs display content relating to the logged-in administrator, but logged-in students see the same tabs.

The Start tab: major parts of the content are personal and cannot be displayed for a fictitious student.

About overviews

Get an overview of what functions the department, the places it was added, and to which students the functions have been
directed.

In the portal the department can direct information to:

All students at the department;

Students registered for a course regardless of course
section;

Students in a specific course section; and

Students on a programme.

Students have access to the information via their course page, where
all information is collated regardless if it was added for the department, course, or course section. Programme students
also have a programme page where all functions are shown.

Various overviews

The user can see overviews for the department(s) where she/he is
authorized and have a Portal role. If you are authorized to
work with several departments you can choose to work with all these
departments at the same time by selecting "All” in the drop-down menu
"Selection of department”.

Overviews are available for:

course sections

all course sections during a certain semester

distance course during a certain semester

summer courses during a certain semester

joint sections during a certain semester

my teaching (retrieved via teacher lists)

courses at the department(s)

programme

department

You can also create your own overview that will then be shown in the
menu, see Own overview.

Note that the choice of department will affect the contents of
overviews.

Selection of department/semester

The selection of department and semester affects the contents in the overview you select via the menu.

Selection of department

Only users with authorization for multiple departments can select a department.

If you only have Portal roles at only one department, your department has already been selected and cannot be changed.

If you have portal roles at multiple departments, you can
choose to work with one of these departments at a time or with all of
your departments simultaneously.

Selection of semester

Selection of semester is only done for overviews that show course sections.

Course sections are always shown for a particular
semester, even when the overview only involves a limited portion of the
course sections - such as overviews for distance courses, summer
courses, joint sections, and your own lists. The current semester has
been selected in advance, but you can select previous semester(s) or the
coming semester.

Show functions

It is possible choose to whether or not to show functions in the overview. If you want to hide the functions, remove the check mark next to Show functions in overview and click on the Update button. This choice will apply as long as you are logged in to Student Portal.

Don’t forget to click on Update – your new choices will not be applied until then.

About functions in the portal

It is possible to limit the display of a function to one group of
students within a course section.

The task conveyed by a function determines the places where
it is set up. Examples: Some functions such as Examination
registration, can be set up for course
and course section. The function Document collection can be set up for
a Department, Course, Course section, Course section
component, Joint
course section, and Programme.

The administrator's role determines where a function can be set up.
Example: A course section administrator can only add/edit/remove
functions for the course sections within the department he/she is
authorized for. Read more about Roles and authorizations under the Help
tab.

Each function can be accessed via the overview. The function link is
shown there as an abbreviation, e.g. BB for bulletin board.

Read more about how to add, copy, delete and restore deleted functions under the Help > Functions tab.

Add the same function in several places

It is possible to use the same function for several
departments, courses, or course sections at the same time. This is done
from the overviews.

Click on the link ”Add the same function" from overviews (visible only if you have the proper role)

Select the function in the drop-down menu

Mark the course sections/courses/programmes/departments where the function is to be used.

Click on Select.

Then work with the function as usual.

Please note: Edit a function used in multiple
places, such as Course A, Course B, and Course C, changes all the functions simultaneously, but if you click on
“Remove” for such a function, the function will only be removed
from the its current place, for example Course A.

On the function's Contents page it is shown whether the function is used for several places.
To add or remove a course section click Edit when on the Content page. Click Add to others and
choose where to add or remove the function.

Please note: For the function Course registrations,
"Edit separately” can be selected as an alternative thus allowing
setting up multiple course registrations simultaneously, but leaving
space for separate editing. Hence changing one will not impact the
others.

you can see, for example, when an examination takes place, how
many students are registered, and when the examination
is to be blocked for registration.

You can search for an examination event by entering a time interval or a results code.

The column Courses/examinations included shows what courses and examinations are covered by the results code.

changes can be made regarding time, place, and status, etc.

More information about Examination registration with results codes, is available under the Help tab.

Joint sections

Two or more course sections/course section elements that are
scheduled to coincide during the semester can be defined as a course
section that is internal to the portal, a joint section. This means
that two or more course sections/course section elements can have the
same Document collection, Forum and so on.

Joint sections are treated the same as
any course section in the portal. Joint sections have no course code and therefore cannot be sorted by
course; instead, they are listed at the end of the list of course
sections when sorted in the overview.

Each joint section has a joint section page. This page contains the
functions set up for the joint section. Students never see a joint
section page, instead they receive joint section information at
her/his course page. Joint section functions reach all
students in course sections that are included in the joint section.

The joint section starting page contains:

Information on what course sections are included in the joint
section and links to these course section pages;

Current messages. The joint section page shows only messages that
are posted on a joint section bulletin board that have the status
Portal or Portal and public and have current date and time limits;

Links for setting up new functions;

Link for coping functions;

Link to recycle bin; and

Prepared functions appear in the menu.

The teacher can send email via a joint list of participants for the
course sections involved. Joint course sections have the same functions
as course sections apart from examination registration and course
registration.

To set up a function for a course section, you must have the role of a department or course section administrator.

Students see the functions used for a joint section via any of the
course sections involved. They see two lists of participants, one for the course and one for the joint section.

Create joint section

A joint section is created via the tab Education > Create joint section. Joint sections can be set up by the role Department
administrator.

Open the tab Education and click on the link Create joint section in the menu.

Enter the name of the joint section.

Mark what course sections are to be included in the joint
section.

Click on Save.

Please note: To be able to choose course sections from
different departments the administrator must have authorization to work
with these departments and select “All” at Selection of department.

Edit/remove joint section

Editing and removing joint sections is done via the overview where
the joint section is included. The link to Edit joint section is
found next to the name of the joint section. Joint sections have no course code and therefore cannot be sorted by
course; instead, they are listed at the end of the list of course
sections when sorted in the overview.

Please note: If you remove a joint course section, all functions and any content
tied to the joint course section will disappear.

Student history

It is possible for Department administrators and Grade-reporting teacher to search for all of a student’s admissions and registrations at the department in question. Also shown here are status and information about the Progress elements, Groups and Assignment tasks for all of the student’s courses. This Student history is accessible via the Education > Student history tab.

Students

The student always accesses information in the portal via her/his
course page, regardless of whether the information is from the
department, the course, or the course section.

Students on a programme also get a programme page where all functions
connected with the programme are shown.

Error in information about
department/courses/course sections

Information about departments, programmes, courses, and course sections
are retrieved from Uppdok, which receives information about new
courses, course sections, and programme sections via SELMA.

Contact the course administrator at your department or the Uppdok
unit if the information is incorrect.

Results lists

All results lists at a department are shown under the tab Teaching> Compilation of > Results lists. A compilation of results lists belonging to a certain course is also available on each respective course section page.

The compilation shows the results lists that have been marked by Uppdok as available to Student Portal.

Sorting results lists

Lists in the compilation can be sorted by list number, course name, course code, examination date, teacher (name) and Uppdok (email). This is done by clicking on the column heading.

If there are many results lists, it may be difficult for the teacher to find his/her list. Tip: Enter the name of the teacher who will be working with the list in the Teacher column (name). The teacher can then click on the column heading to sort the lists by name and then see more readily which results lists apply to him/her.

Email address to Uppdok officer

The email address to the Uppdok officer at the department can be entered for all results lists. The email address can be changed for a specific list in the Uppdok column (email).

A confirmation message will automatically be sent to the address entered once the list is marked as Done and transferred to Uppdok.

Opening a results list to report grades

Click on the desired list number in the List column (can only be done by a teacher authorised to report grades) to open the results list and report the grades.

Displaying results lists in Student Portal

For a results list to be displayed in Student Portal, it must first be made available in Uppdok.
This is done by an Uppdok administrator who creates a results list in Uppdok for a course and examination with a specific grading date and marks the list as "Web rep". The results list will then be visible in Student Portal.

When a results list has been marked as Done and saved, the list will automatically disappear from the department’s compilation of results lists in Student Portal. On the course section page it will be displayed a bit longer and will disappear only when the grades have been definitively entered in Uppdok, though it is no longer possible to update the list via Student Portal.

Roles for results lists and reporting grades

Your role determines what you are allowed to do in Student Portal, and you can have different roles at different departments. This means you can be authorised to enter supplementary information on results lists at one department but not at another department.

The role of Department administrator can complement results lists with:

the email address to the Uppdok administrator at the department, either for all lists or for one list at a time.

supplementary information per list, for instance the name of the teacher who is to report the grades, so the teachers will more readily find the right list.

When all students on the list have grades and grading dates, mark the list as DONE and click on Save. You do this at the bottom of the list.

Now the list can no longer be updated via Student Portal.

A confirmation message will then be sent via email to the teacher who marked the list as DONE and to the Uppdok administrator that was registered for the results list. The email message will also include a PDF of the marking support that was used.

When a results list has been marked as DONE and saved, the list automatically disappears from the department’s compilation of results list in Student Portal. On the course section page it will be shown a bit longer and will disappear only when the grades have been permanently registered in Uppdok, though the list can no longer be updated via Student Portal.

PDF of marking support

When the grading document has been transferred to Uppdok, a PDF of the marking support that was used will be created and sent to the Uppdok administrator whose email address was given for the results list at hand.

The PDF contains all columns in the results list along with any grade borderlines that were used, and it can be saved at the department as a basis for the archival list.

Course section page

Every course section has its own page. Shown here are all the
functions displayed on the student's course page, including
functions available for the course and the department the course
section belongs to. Functions added to a course section are shown only
to students in that course section.

The course section starting page contains:

Information on whether the course section is part of a joint
section.

Current messages. The course section shows all messages
with the status Portal or Portal and public and have
current date and time limits.
Note that departmental messages are not shown for each course
section
for administrators but rather on the Starting page in the
Portal, whereas the student sees them on his/her course page.

Course section elements

A department administrator can choose to create section
elements for a specific course section in the Student Portal. This can
only be done if there is a syllabus with course elements
for the corresponding course in Selma. If the administrator is
not
satisfied with the course elements in place for the course
section,
he/she must change the syllabus in the Selma database.

Each course section element will have its own page,
comparable to a
course section. Here the administrator can add or remove
expected display functions related this course section element.
Course Registration (CR) and Examination (ER) are functions
which cannot be added to the course section element.

Functions that have been added to a course section element are shown
only on the course section element starting page in the
administrator’s interface, not on the course section starting
page.

In the overview you can choose to show or hide course section
components if required. It is visible directly under the
course section and be easily indentified since it is without
application codes.

Adding course section elements

If there are course components in Selma for a course section, the
link Add course section components will be shown in the
menu on the left.

Click on Add course section
elements in the menu.

You will now see the course section elements that are
registered in Selma.

Select the components you wish to activate.

Click on the button Activate.

After activation the course section
elements will be displayed
indented under the course section in the menu.

Please note: It is not possible to change
which course components will be displayed in Student
Portal once it is activated. Updating the list requires deletion of
all course section elements and reinstallation by following the
procedure Add course section elements.

Administrating course section elements

If an administrator has added course section components, the link
Administrate course section components will appear in the
menu on the left.

An X in the column Used in the Portal indicates that
the course section component has one or more functions linked to it in
the Portal.

The administrator will also receive a notice if there is a
more recent syllabus in Selma. If you want to update the list, you need
to delete all course section elements and follow the procedure
Add course section elements again.

Please note: A warning message will be sent when you try to delete course
section elements with connected functions.

Adding a function to a Course section element

Adding a function to a course section element is done in the same
way as adding functions to course sections.

Note: Functions tied to a component of a
course section will be shown only when that course
section component has been selected in the menu. Functions tied
to department/course/course section are also displayed for the
course section component. A function, such as a Document collection, for a course section does not need to be
uploaded for the course section component, it is already
displayed.

Joint section page

Two or more course sections/course section elements that are
scheduled to coincide during the semester can be defined as a course
section that is internal to the portal, a joint section. This means
that two or more course sections/course section elements can have the
same Document collection, Forum and so on.

Joint sections are treated the same as
any course section in the portal. Joint sections have no course code and therefore cannot be sorted by
course; instead, they are listed at the end of the list of course
sections when sorted in the overview.

Each joint section has a joint section page. This page contains the
functions set up for the joint section. Students never see a joint
section page, instead they receive joint section information at
her/his course page. Joint section functions reach all
students in course sections that are included in the joint section.

The joint section starting page contains:

Information on what course sections are included in the joint
section and links to these course section pages

Joint section information

Current messages. The joint section page shows only messages that
are posted on a joint section bulletin board that have the status
Portal or Portal and public and have current date and time limits;

Links for setting up new functions

Link for coping functions

Functions

The teacher can send email via a joint list of participants for the
course sections involved. Joint course sections have the same functions
as course sections apart from examination registration and course
registration.

To set up a function for a course section, you must have the role of a department or course section administrator.

Students see the functions used for a joint section via any of the
course sections involved. They see two lists of participants, one for the course and one for the joint section.

Create joint section

A joint section is created via the tab Education > Create joint section. Joint sections can be set up by the role Department
administrator.

Open the tab Education and click on the link Create joint section in the menu.

Enter the name of the joint section.

Mark what course sections are to be included in the joint
section.

Click on Save.

Please note: To be able to choose course sections from
different departments the administrator must have authorization to work
with these departments and select All at Selection of department.

Edit/remove joint section

Editing and removing joint sections is done via the overview where
the joint section is included. The link to Edit joint section is
found next to the name of the joint section. Joint sections have no course code and therefore cannot be sorted by
course; instead, they are listed at the end of the list of course
sections when sorted in the overview.

Please note: If you remove a joint course section, all functions and any content
tied to the joint course section will disappear.

Course page

Each course has a course page. A course page shows the functions
that have been set up for the course. These functions are shown to
students in all of the course sections of the course. A student never
sees this page but rather gets information from the course via her/his
course page.

The course starting page contains:

Current messages. For the course are shown only messages that
exist on a course bulletin board that have the status Portal or Portal and public and have current date and time limits;

Functions

Only departmental administrators or course section administrator can set up functions for a course.

Department page

Every department has a department page. A department page shows the
functions that have been set up for the department. These functions are
shown for all of the department's course sections. A student never sees
a department page but rather gets information from the department via
his/her course page.

The department starting page contains:

Current messages. On a department page are shown only messages
that are posted on a department bulletin board that have the status
Portal or Portal and public and have current date and time limits;

Programme

Each programme and programme specialization has its own page. A programme
page shows the functions set up for the programme, and the programme
specialization page shows the specialization functions. Functions for the programme reach all students on a
programme regardless of specialization. Functions for a specialization
reach students in the specialization. Note that if the programme has
specializations but no specialization requirements, the administrator
can select the specialization "blank” to reach students who are
studying with no specific specialization.

The programme/specialization starting page contains:

Current messages. On a programme page are shown only messages
posted on a programme bulletin board, and on a programme specialization
page are shown only messages posted on a bulletin board for that
specialization. Messages are only shown if they have the status
Portal or Portal and public and have current date and time limits

In the Student Portal you can create a copy of an existing function,
such as a Document collection or a web page. This can be useful
if you have functions you wish to reuse or only copy in part.

Copy a
function

Open the course, programme, etc. you want to copy the function
to.

Click on the link “Copy existing function” in the
left menu.

When you have clicked on the link, you will see a list of the
course sections/course section components/departments/programmes you

change this status. Certain functions will require
more information, since everything cannot be copied.

Restore deleted functions

Deleted functions go to the recycle bin in the menu. It remains in the recycle bin for seven days and can easily be restored.

Display as student

A logged-in administrator/teacher can choose to see Student Portal from a student perspective. In that case, the course section page at hand and other parts of Student Portal will be displayed as seen by a fictitious student.

The following display options are possible:

Registered student

Student admitted

Non-logged-in student

To open Display as student

Select which course section the student is to be registered/admitted for by opening the start page of the course section.

Click on the button Display as student (directly under the name of the course).

The window Display as student shows information about which course section has been selected and that the student is registered for the course.

Via Settings it is possible to change the group the student belongs to and to change the display option registered to admitted or non-logged-in student.

Please note that the student is only registered/admitted for one course at a time. The administrator can switch to another course section by returning to administrator view (closing student view), selecting a new course section, and clicking on Display as student.

Display as student: Joint section

To view a joint section from a student perspective you must open Display as student via any of the course sections involved. You can also see what it looks like for a student belonging to a joint section group by selection the group via Settings.

Settings for student view

Via Settings it is possible to select whether the student is to be registered, admitted, or not logged in.

Next to the alternative Registered student it is possible to select which group the fictitious student is to belong to (if the course section selected has groups). A student in a group sees functions that have been restricted to the selected group as well as functions without group restriction.

Tip: Switch type of student while you are on the start page of the course section. If you are on a page that is only displayed to a registered student and try to switch to a admitted student (or the reverse) an error message will appear, because you are not authorized to see that page.

Always click on Update to activate the new settings.

To close student view

Click on the button Close student view in the upper right-hand corner of the window Display as student to return to administrator view.

Functions and services

Display as student provides a picture of what Student Portal looks like to a fictitious student. As a fictitious student you cannot see content that is personal and related to a certain student – which in turn affects the content of certain functions. Since the fictitious student lacks any registration in Uppdok, services that are dependent on such information will be affected. Information about what is affected is shown in connection with the respective service and function.

Please note that:

The Send email button on the list of participants for a course is not visible to a fictitious student even though it is displayed to a registered student.

The My profile tab is not displayed at all since the fictitious student has no personal information.

The News and Webmail tabs display content relating to the logged-in administrator, but logged-in students see the same tabs.

The Start tab: major parts of the content are personal and cannot be displayed for a fictitious student.

The Discussion forum function cannot be displayed from a student perspective. On the other hand, it is possible to preview a forum via the administrator view, as they are very similar. The only difference between the views is that students do not see the icons for deleting a subject and a comment. Nor can students choose to label a subject they create a subject – something the administrator can do.

Delete course/course section/programme information

Flexible menus

Via a flexible menu teachers and administrators can create a menu structure consisting of menu blocks and functions in any order. In this way the menu can mirror the structure and instructional flow of the course.

If the flexible menu is not activated for a course section or programme, all functions are shown in alphabetical order and grouped by function in set menu blocks – a so-called classic menu.

Feel free to try out the flexible menus in the Student Portal demo environment, see the tab Help > Try Student Portal.

Bear in mind that:

Nothing is saved automatically. Remember to click on Save often.

Activating a flexible menu

It is possible to activate a flexible menu for course sections, course sections components, programmes and departments.

The buttons Save, Cancel, Create block and Show icons will then appear. If the menu already has functions, these too will be shown.

Click on Save to activate the menu.
If you do not want to activate the menu, click on Cancel.

Click on Delete if you no longer want a flexible menu but want to return to the classic menu. This means that the functions are left but grouped in fixed menu blocks in alphabetical order. Please note that the action can not be undone.

Once a flexible menu has been activated, new functions wind up at the bottom of the list of freestanding functions – that is, above any menu blocks. Thereafter the teacher/administrator can move them anywhere in the menu.

Flexible menu for joint course sections

If you activate a flexible menu for a joint course section, it will be displayed only to teachers and administrators (since students never see the joint course section page). To make it visible to students, you need to copy the menu structure to the course sections/course-section components that are included in the joint course section.

Here’s what you do:

Set up all the functions that are to be shared in the joint course section.

Activate flexible menu on the joint course section page.

Create the menu structure you prefer and save the menu.

Open one of the course sections included in the joint course section.

Click on Copy existing function in the menu.

In the list that appears, choose the joint course section where you activated the flexible menu.

Moving functions

Functions in the menu can be moved up and down within and between menu blocks, as well as sideways. This makes it possible to create a clear menu structure.

Moving functions in the menu structure

It is possible to move a function within a menu block or between menu blocks. You can also move a function so it is placed above the menu blocks.

Click on Edit menu.

Drag and drop the function anywhere you want.

Click on Save.

You can choose whether or not to have icons for menu options.

Click on Edit menu.

Click on Show icons/Hide icons.

Click on Save.

Menu blocks

Each menu block has a mini-menu for editing the menu block. With this you can change the name, change the colour, move and delete the menu block. Remember to save your changes when you are finished. Please note, it is not possible to create blocks at the department level.

Creating menu blocks

Click on Edit menu.

Click on Create menu block.

A menu block will be shown with the name Menu block.

Click on the menu icon on the far right and select Change name.

Click on Edit menu.

Click on the menu icon for the menu block.

Click on Select colour and choose a colour.

Click on Save.

Moving menu blocks

Menu blocks can be moved. You do this by dragging and dropping them anywhere or by clicking on Move up/Move down in the mini-menu for the menu block.

Removing a menu block

Click on the menu icon on the far right of the menu block.

Select Remove.

The whole menu block will disappear.

The functions that existed in the menu block will automatically be moved to the course section’s freestanding functions that do not belong to a menu block.

Click on Save.

New functions

When a flexible menu is used, new functions wind up at the bottom of the list of freestanding functions – that is, above any menu blocks. Thereafter the teacher/administrator can move them anywhere in the menu.
If a classic menu is being used, the function winds up in the function’s menu block and is arranged in alphabetical order.

Functions for joint sections

Functions for joint sections automatically wind up in the list above freestanding functions for the course sections that are included in joint sections and have a flexible menu. The teacher/administrator can then move them anywhere in the menu.

Please note that it is not possible to create menu blocks and move functions on a joint section; this always needs to be done for each respective course section.

Functions at the course level

Functions at the course level always wind up automatically on the list of freestanding functions on course sections that have a flexible menu. The teacher/administrator can then move them anywhere in the menu.

Functions at the departmental level

All functions at the departmental level are shown at the bottom of the menu under the menu block Information from the Department. This menu structure can only be edited at the department by a department administrator.
It is possible to activate the menu at the departmental level and move functions up and down and sideways to create a clearer menu structure, which will then be shown on the respective course section pages. On the other hand, it is not possible to create menu blocks or change the name of the menu block Information from the Department. Nor is it possible to copy a menu structure between different departments.
It is possible to choose to display icons in the menu on the department page. This only goes for administrators – if the icons are to be visible to students, this option must be selected on the respective course section pages.

Menus on course section component pages

It is possible to activate a flexible menu on course section component pages. It functions in the same way as on a course section page.

Copying a menu structure

It is possible to copy a menu structure (with or without functions) from one course section to another. Please note that it is only possible a menu structure from a course section that has a flexible menu to a course section that does not have a flexible menu.

If, for example, you have activated a flexible menu for the course section English A, spring 2014 and want to use the same menu structure for English A, autumn 2014, you can do so as long as you have not activated a flexible menu for the autumn course section, as it is impossible to have two flexible menus at the same time. This applies only to copying a menu structure. It is always possible to copy functions, regardless of what type of menu the course section has.

Open a course section that does not have a flexible menu activated.

Click on Copy existing function.

From the list of course sections shown, select a course section that has a flexible menu.

Check the box Copy menu that is shown under the Menu heading (above Functions)

If you also want to copy functions, select them from the list of functions. Functions that are included in a menu block will retain their places.

Click on Copy.

Confirm the copying.

You will now see the menu blocks and any selected functions on the course section page.

Functions on another level do not retain their places in the menu but rather wind up at the bottom of the list of freestanding functions. Thereafter the teacher/administrator can move them any where in the menu. This applies to functions at the course level that are inherited down to the course section level, functions at the course section level that are inherited down to the course section component level, and functions at the programme level that are inherited down to the programme specialisation level.

It is now possible to remove the flexible menu and return to the classic menu. Please note: This action can not be undone and the entire menu structure will disappear. Feel free to try out the flexible menus in the Student Portal demo environment, see the tab Help > Try Student Portal.

List of participants with email

Information about course participants (students
registered for a course) is fetched from Uppdok.

Shown here
are email addresses to students who have indicated under the tab "My
profile” that their email addresses may be displayed. Both administrators/teachers and students can use the list of participants to email course participants.

Help for administrators

About the list of participants

Information about course participants, that is, students registered for a course, is retrieved from Uppdok.

The list of participants for a course section is automatically
updated with newly registered/deregistered students via Uppdok. In
Uppdok you can identify re-registered students who do not have the
right to attend classes but will be taking a part of the examination.
The Student Portal shows this information from Uppdok on the list of
participants. The student also receives this information via his/her
interface.

If there are multiple course sections during the semester, the
administrator has to transfer any re-registered students to the right
course section by complementing the list of participants.

The list of participants contains the student's name, civic
registration number, and email address. The student's group
designation within the course is also shown on the list.

Columns in list of participants

You can select what information about participants you want to display, such as name, civic registration number, group, programme specialisation and semester registered. Click on Display list’s columns to mark which columns you wish to show. You can also search for a student, programme, etc. via the search function for the list of participants.

Name
The student's name is a direct link to the Student history of the current student.

Civic registration number

Adjust
If the participants list is complemented with re-registered or exchange students, they are indicated in the Adjust column with an X.

No teach. The department can mark in Uppdok that re-registered students
are not entitled to take part in class. If the student has such a mark,
it will be shown in this column. Students who are not entitled to take part in class are not included on the list of participants for the functions Progress, Assignments, Groups, and Topic selection, nor do they see these functions on their course pages. On the other hand, students can access material and information uploaded for the course and can see the functions Discussion forum, Document collections, Course evaluations, Links, Messages, Ping Pong links, Schedule links, and Content pages. Students can also see any examination events and can register for examinations.

Group The student's group, if applicable, within the course is shown here.

Reg. semesterIf a student is not registered for the course section’s starting semester, it will say in the “Reg. semester” column what semester the student registered for the course for the first time.

Email to students

Since January 2017 all students at Uppsala University are offered an Office 365 account including Microsoft's email service.

The student's email is hosted by Outlook.com, where they receive an inbox with 50 GB of email space. They reach their email via links from the Student Portal or by visiting https://outlook.com/student.uu.se where they log on with their student email-address "firstname.lastname.1234@student.uu.se" and Password A.

Students can configure their email in various ways, e.g., create an autoreply or set up forwarding to Gmail, Hotmail or another email address.

Messages sent to a student email address, for example, from the Student Portal, go directly to Outlook at Office 365 or is forwarded to the private email address, if the student has made that configuration.

Office 365 also includes a number of tools and services which can be used for student collaboration. Students can also download the Office package to their own computers.

The Portal user at the department can send email to students
in a course section and to groups within this course section. This is
done from the List of participants or from Group. The user can choose
studievgl@inst.uu.se, he/she can select it as the sender address. The recipient gets the letter as an email in his/her usual "In box”.

You can send email to individual students or all students on
the list. Please note: When you add new recipients, the email address
must be separated by a semi-colon, ”;”.

If the student does not have an email address, it is because
the student has not yet acquired a student account at the university
(account in UpUnet-S). If so, the text "No student account” will appear
in the email column. When the student has indicated that she/he does
not wish to appear in the email catalogue, the address will not be shown
in the Student Portal, but you can still send email to her/him.

It is possible to add attachments to an email.

Email to all

You click on the link "Send email to all” if you want to send email to all participants.

Email to some

To send email to some of the participants, you mark the box
next to their names before clicking on the button "Send email to
those selected”.

Email to one student

You can also click directly on a student's email address if you want to send email to this single student.

Reregistered students

A reregistered student has access to everything in the course and is included in Group divisions, Progress, and Assignments. The course is displayed under Current courses but students can also access their old course page under Incomplete courses.

Complement the list

If the course has only one course section during the semester,
re-registered students are automatically transferred to this section,

If there are multiple course sections during the semester, the
administrator has to transfer any re-registered students to the right
course section by complementing the list of participants. The link
"Complement the list of participants” will then be visible to the
administrator. Re-registered students who have not been
transferred to any of the course sections will not have access to
course information in the portal.

An example:
The course is offered full-time and half-time/distance during
the semester. Re-registered students must be marked either as
participants in the full-time course or as participants in the
half-time/distance course.

Recommended routines for reregistration

Reregister the student in Uppdok.

If the course has multiple course sections in the same semester, you will have to supplement the list of participants with the reregistered student in Student Portal, otherwise the student will not see the course page.

Transfer the status of any Progress elements for the reregistered student (from previous course sections) to Progress for the current course section. You may want to write a comment that you transferred the status from earlier course sections so the student/teacher will know. Remember that you can make use of Student history to see which status applies to each respective element and course section.

Transfer the status of any Assignments for the reregistered student (from the previous course sections) to the new Assignments of the current course section.

Inform the students that the reregistration has been completed and that s/he can find all information about the course in the current course section. A shortcut to the course is shown on the student’s start page under Current course.

Tip: It’s possible to see in what semester the student was registered for the first time in Progress (choose to display the column “Registered semester”). It will then be easier to bear in mind that a student has been reregistered and that the student may have Progress elements from another course section. You can also search for a student via Student history to get an overall view of the student’s Progress, Assignments and Groups for each respective course section.

Reregistered students with limited access to the course page
In Uppdok you can specially mark those reregistered students who are not supposed to take part in class instruction but only complete part of the examination, that is, take an exam. You do this by marking the student with a group in the course “TENT”. Student Portal displays this information from Uppdok on the list of participants for the course section with an x in the column “No classes.”

Students with such a mark will not be included in the list of participants for the Progress, Assignments, Group division and Subject selections functions, nor will they see these functions on their course pages. On the other hand, they can access material and information set up for the course. For example, the student will see messages from teachers, discussion forums, Document collections, course evaluations, links, Ping Pong links, timetable links and webpages. They can also register for exams.

Points 3-5 under “Recommended routines” in the above section do not apply if the student is marked as “EXAM” in Uppdok. The teacher then continues to log the student’s status in Progress and Assignments for the student’s original course section that s/he was registered for the first time.

Advantages:If a student is reregistered without a right to attend classes, the student will not be assigned double Progress and Assignments functions. The student’s status for various Progress elements/Assignments thus do not need to be transferred from the first course section to the new course section.
If the teacher/administrator subscribes to an Assignment from a course section, they see directly whether the student has submitted an assignment. The teacher gets a link to the right course section and assignment via email.

Recommended routines for reregistration of students who are to have access only to course material in Student Portal

Reregister the student with the group code “TENT” in Uppdok.

The student will be marked as “No classes” in the list of participants for the course section in Student Portal (please note that this marking will not be appear in the list of participants until the following day).

Inform the student that s/he can access all course material, information from the teacher, etc. for the course but that Assignments are to be submitted via the course section where s/he was registered the first time. That is also where the student will see her/his Progress in the course. The new course section will be shown on the start page under Current courses and the old course section can be reached via My studies > Incomplete courses or by clicking on “You are logged in as…”

Add a subscription to the Assignments that are in place for the course section the student was registered for the first time (so you will receive messages when the student submits work).

Admitted students

You can list persons who have been admitted to the course but
have not registered. This list also shows students admitted to a
programme/programme specialization.

Display of conditions for admitted students Students can sometimes be admitted with conditions. Teachers and administrators can see, from the list of admitted students, which students have been conditionally admitted and what condition must be satisfied.

Open the list of admitted students.

Click on Show list columns.

Select Conditions to see the conditions in the list.

Course registrationsThe column “CR” shows when the student has registered via the Student Portal but has not yet been registered in Uppdok.

Admitted students to a programme

The programme/specialization starting page contains the link
“Admitted students”. The list shows students admitted to a
programme/programme specialization for the current and following semester.

If the student has applied for the same programme/programme specialization
both semesters, the latest semester is shown. A blank email field
indicates that the student has chosen to hide his/her email address.

Attendance list/Bulletin list

From the list of participants, you can generate attendance
lists and bulletin lists. The administrator indicates whether the list
should include civic registration numbers and email addresses. You can
set up any number of columns for the list by entering the desired
number and updating the list.

FAQ for the list of participants

Why is the student missing from the list of participants?
The student is not registered or has not been transferred to the
list of participants if the registration is a re-registration. Contact
the person in charge of Uppdok at the department for help.

Why are there too many students on the list of participants?
The course was not reported to Uppdok as filled. Contact the person in charge of Uppdok at the department for help.

Help for administrators

About examination registration

Examination registrations are shown under the tab Education > Compilation of > Examination registrations and under the link Examination registrations on the respective course and course section page.

Logged-in students see their examination registrations via My Studies > Examination registrations.
The link to this page is also displayed on the start page. The
examination registrations are no longer available on the student course
pages.

A new examination registration is entered via a course
or a course section and can only be used for courses that have an
examination code. You can set up two examination registrations for the same day for the same examination code if one is to take place in Visby and the other in Uppsala.

Compilation of Examination registrations

This overview shows a compilation of the activated examination registrations in the Student Portal for the selected department.

The column Course name links to the course that the examination registration is connected with.

The column Exam. name and the column Edit links to Edit examination registration.

The column Registered/Passed shows the number
of registered students and the number of students who have
passed the examination. To see the list of students registered,
you click on the link in this column. Only a department administrator can see this list if the examination registration is anonymous.

Anonymity

Here is how anonymity is secured from examination registration to the reporting of results:

The administrator sets up an examination registration via course/course section and marks that it is to be anonymous.

The logged-in students see their examination
registrations on their start page and can register and deregister up to
the deadline for registering. When students register, they receive
a code, which is shown in the Student Portal.

Only the department administrator sees registered
students, their civic registration numbers, and their codes via
the examination. Once the registration deadline has passed, the list Students registered (PDF),
is automatically transferred to the place where the examination is to
be held if the Buildings Division's facilities are used. If the
examination is held somewhere else, the department must deliver the list
to the examination hall according to routines laid down by the faculty
board/department.

Four days before the examination date, the
system sends out an email message to registered students. The message
contains information about the examination and their personal code.

The students take the examination and enter their codes on the examination.

The teacher grading the examination sees only the code entered by the student.

The list of examination registrations can be
used as a basis for reporting grades. If the list is marked as
“Web” in Uppdok, it will be shown as a list of results in the
Student Portal. The list displays only the code for each student.

A teacher with the role of ”grading teacher”
can now fill in the grades via the Student Portal, mark the list as
“Done,” and send it in to Uppdok.

Please note: In the new system the
administrator indicates when the examination opportunity is to be
blocked for registration (12–4 days before the examination date).
Registration should be blocked 12 days prior to the examination date,
so the department will have time to reserve the right number of places
in the examination hall.

Add examination registration

Open course or course section.

Click on the link Examination registrations in the menu. Existing examinations will be displayed.

Click on the link Add an examination registration.

Select examination type.

Enter the date for the examination and when the
examination begins and when the examination ends (starting and
concluding time).

Select the examination code. The examination codes
for the course are retrieved from Uppdok. If the course lacks
examination codes, the checking of examination sets must be enabled.

Select place (Uppsala or Visby). It is possible to create two examination registrations that take place on the same date if one takes place in Uppsala and the second takes place in Visby.

Enter the venue for the examination. If the examination is to take place in Uppsala, you can select among the Buildings Division examination halls in the dropdown menu. If any of these examination halls are to be used, the hall must be booked. You can also select "Own locale", but in that case registration lists will not be automatically sent to the examination hall. If the examination is to take place in Visby, enter the venue in the free-text field.

Enter how many places have been booked in the hall (visible only to the administrator and is optional). If the number of students registered exceeds the number of places booked three days prior to the deadline for registration, Student Portal will send an email to the administrator who created/most recently updated the examination event and to any email addresses that might have been linked to the examination event.

Indicate whether the examination is to be anonymous or not.

Fill in the registration period. For the
department to have time to reserve the right number of places in the
examination hall, it is important to set up the examination
registration in plenty of time before the examination and to set a
registration deadline of 12 days prior to the examination date.

Message to students. Students will see the
message when they register for the examination in the Student Portal.
The same message will also be enclosed in the email message that
the registered student receives when the registration deadline has
passed. The date, place, time, and anonymity code will also be
sent.

Fill in email addresses to administrators/teachers
who want information about the examination registration (four days
before the examination date the system sends out an email with
information about the examination registration to the administrator
who last updated the examination registration.)

Click on Save.

Checking set of examinations

Information about what examinations are current
for the course is retrieved from Uppdok. If there are no sets of
examinations entered for the course a department administrator must take
away the checking of examination sets. This is done by removing the
mark in the "Checking a set of examinations”.

Please note: Deleting the checking
function for examination sets for examination registration will require
a manual check in Uppdok for students’ examinations within a course
before grades for a whole course can be reported.

Students registered

To see the list of students registered, you click on the link in the column for Registered/Passed. Only a department administrator can see this list if the examination registration is anonymous.

Please note: The person who will be correcting the
examinations should not deal with lists of students registered or work
with this information in the Student Portal or in Uppdok for the
examination event at hand.

The administrator can add students up to four days
before the examination date regardless of the registration period. It is
possible to remove students up to the examination date. This list is
used as a basis for reporting grades.

Reg. semester: If a student is not
registered for the course section’s starting semester, it will say in
the “Reg. semester” column what term the student registered for the
course for the first time.

Pass: A student who has registered to
take an examination before a passing grade has been reported in will be
marked in the list as a Pass. For example, this might happen if the
student has registered to take a regular examination and also a make-up
examination. Students with Pass will be removed from the pdf by the
system before the list is sent to the examination hall.

The link Students registered (PDF)
displays the list of students who have registered and haven’t passed
the exam. This PDF contains information about the examination event,
the students’ names, civic registration numbers, and codes. If the
examination is taking place in an examination hall belonging to the
Buildings Division, the list of students registered will be sent to the
examination hall automatically. If the examination is taking place in
other premises, the department must deliver the list to the examination
hall according to routines laid down by the faculty board/department.

Email about the examination registration

If the number of students registered exceeds the number of places booked three days prior to the deadline for registration, Student Portal will send an email to the administrator who created/most recently updated the examination event and to any email addresses that might have been linked to the examination registration.

Four days before the examination date the system sends
out an email to registered students. The message contains information
about the examination registration and the students’ anonymity code.
The system also sends out an email with information about the
examination registration to the administrator who last updated the
examination registration.

Add a registration for a student

Students you add to the list must have a registration
for the course. It is also checked that the student does not already
have a passing grade for the examination code in question.

Remove a student’s registration

You can remove one or more students from the list. Mark
the box next to the student(s) to be removed and click on the button
Remove selected students.

Email

You can send email to the students registered also after the registration deadline has passed.

Edit examination

You can only change type of examination, message and cancel an examination if the last day of registration has passed. If students have registered, you cannot change the date of examination.

Open the page with the compilation of Examination registrations.

Click on the name of the examination in the column Examination name or via the link Registrations.

This opens the page Edit examination.

Information about the time the change was made and who made it is saved and displayed in the administrator’s interface.

In exceptional cases, Student Portal staff may change the time and venue for an examination – even after the deadline for registering has passed and up to four days before the examination date. Please contact the support staff for more information.

Cancelled examination opportunity

If an opportunity to take an examination has been cancelled, you mark this in a box on the page Edit examination.
Information that an examination is cancelled will then be displayed to
students, and an email message will be sent to students four days.

If the examination is cancelled after the email has been sent, the students must be informed manually.

Remove examination registration

You can remove an Examination registration whenever you wish.
The link will disappear directly from the student interface as well.
This is done via Edit examination. Please note: It is impossible to remove an examination registration when students are already registered.

Examination registration with results codes

When a test in several different courses is
administered via the same examination, you can link together
course codes and examination codes in a results code.

The advantage is that the department does not
have to add separate examination events for each respective
course and examination in Student Portal. It is sufficient to
add one (1) joint examination event with the help of the
results code.

In Student Portal the administrator adds the
examination event as usual, but instead of course and
examination you enter only the results code.

The purpose of results codes

When a test in several different courses
is administered via the same examination, you can link together
course codes and examination codes in a results code.

The results code can be used in setting
up examination events in Student Portal and in reporting
results in Uppdok or in Student Portal.

In other words: when students who are
registered for different courses take the same course component
and take the same examination, students can register for the
same examination event with the help of the results
code.

The advantage is that the department does
not have to add separate examination events for each
respective course and examination in Student Portal. It is
sufficient to add one (1) joint examination event with
the help of the results code.

Students who are registered for one of
the courses covered by the results code and who do not already
have a passing grade for the course and examination can
register for the examination.

In the next step, in reporting results with
the help of the results code, Uppdok will sort out the
students’ respective course affiliation and ensure that the
results are recorded for the right course and
examination for each student.

New results codes

The Uppdok office enters results codes in
Uppdok at the request of the department. The department
informs the Uppdok office of what courses and examinations are
to be covered by the new results code.

The courses covered may belong to different departments.
All examinations included must have the same grading scale, even if the courses do not.

The results code is 6 characters in length and consists of numbers and/or letters.
The results code is not linked to one semester or one department.

An example:

Results code: R12345

Course: 1MX001
Examination: 1000

Course: 1MX460
Examination: 0120

Course: 1MX963
Examination: 2002

Changing and deleting results codes

You cannot delete the code or cut a
course/examination included in it if the department has
uploaded an examination event with the results code in Student
Portal. The same is true if results are in the process
of being reported via the results code in Uppdok or
via Student Portal. On the other hand, you can always add
courses and examinations.

Searching for results codes in Uppdok

Via the function KA17 in Uppdok, you can search for and view information about results codes.

Adding an examination event with a results code in Student Portal

In Student Portal the administrator adds
the examination event as usual, but instead of course and
examination you enter only the results code.

Open a course page covered by the results code.

Click on Examination registrations with results code in the left menu.

The compilation will be displayed. Click on the link Add an examination event with results code.

Fill in the information about the examination event.

Add a results code by clicking on the link Select next
to the results code field. A list of available results codes
will be displayed. Click on the name of the results code.

Fill in the other information and click on Save.

Read more about examination registrations in Student Portal via the tab Help > Administration of studies > Examination registrations.

The following controls are performed:

The administrator must be authorized for a department behind one of the courses covered.

The administrator cannot enter multiple
identical examination events with the same results code and
the same date.

Compiling examination registrations with results codes

Examination registrations with results codes are displayed under the tab Education > Compilation of > Examination registrations with results codes and under the link Examination registrations with results codes on the respective course pages if the course is covered by a results code.

The compilation displays examination
events with a results code at a department or a course. Here
you can see, for example, when an examination takes place, how
many students are registered, and when the examination
is to be blocked for registration.

You can search for an examination event by entering a time interval or a results code.

The column Courses/examinations included shows what courses and examinations are covered by the results code.

The column Registered/passed shows the number of
students registered and the number of students who have
passed the examination in question after registration was
closed. Registered/passed links to examination registration,
which displays students registered. There the
administrator can also send email, and add and remove students.
Only the department administrator sees this link.

The link Edit examination event to
the far right opens an existing examination event, where
changes can be made regarding time, place, and status, etc.

Registering for an examination in Student Portal

Registering for an examination that was
set up with the help of a results code is just the same as
registering for other examination events. Logged-on students
view their examination registrations via the tab My studies > Examination registrations. The link to this page is also displayed on the start page.

Read more about examination registrations in Student Portal via the tab Help > Administration of studies > Examination registrations.

The following controls are performed:

The student can only be registered for one of the
courses covered by the results code. A student who has
registrations for several of the courses covered cannot see
the examination event and cannot register. The reason for
this is that, in the next step, reporting results, Uppdok
would not be able to know which course the result applies to.

The administrator must be authorized for a
department behind one of the courses covered to be able to
add/remove registrations.

Reporting results with the help of the results code

In Uppdok you select the alternative “Entering grades with results codes” in function RS01.

Via “Search registrations” you create a database for the results list. Please note: You cannot search for
registrations for one of the courses covered by the
results code in Uppdok; rather, “Search registrations” for
examinations functions only for the entire results code itself.

The authorization control
differs between the set-up of examination registration
in Student Portal and reporting results in Uppdok/via Student
Portal. In reporting results it is not sufficient to be
authorized for one of the courses covered by the results
code.

There are three alternatives for functioning authorization in reporting results in Uppdok:

the user is authorized for all departments covered by the results code

the user is authorized for all courses covered by the results code

the user is authorized for examinations within
the courses that belong to another department covered by the
results code by examinations being tagged with the user’s
department

The link to your examination registration(s) is shown on the start page via the link Examination registrations and in the menu under the tab My studies > Examination registrations.
It gives you information about each examination and you can
register/de-register up to the deadline for registering as well as the
anonymity code for the anonymous examination(s).

Remember to take your code with you to the examination and enter
your code (instead of your civic registration number) on the
examination.

The examination is for the course shown.

You can register and de-register until the registration deadline has passed.

Registration is normally blocked 12 days before the
examination but this can vary, the registration deadline date is
displayed in relation to the examination registration.

The status of your registration is shown as "registered” or "not registered”.

After the registration deadline and the once the
registration is blocked, you will receive an email message confirming
your registration. The letter contains information about the
examination date, time, place, and your examination code (if the
department has anonymous examinations).

If you already have a passing grade for this examination, you cannot register for the examination.

Registration

Click on the button Register.

You will receive a confirmation You are now registered for the examination.

Removing a registration

You can remove your registration if you have changed your mind and cannot take the examination.

Click on the button Remove registration.

You will receive a confirmation Your registration for the examination has been removed.

Joint sections

Two or more course sections/course section elements that are
scheduled to coincide during the semester can be defined as a course
section that is internal to the portal, a joint section. This means
that two or more course sections/course section elements can have the
same Document collection, Forum and so on.

Joint sections are treated the same as
any course section in the portal. Joint sections have no course code and therefore cannot be sorted by
course; instead, they are listed at the end of the list of course
sections when sorted in the overview.

Each joint section has a joint section page. This page contains the
functions set up for the joint section. Students never see a joint
section page, instead they receive joint section information at
her/his "course page”. Joint section functions reach all
students in course sections that are included in the joint section.

The joint section starting page contains:

Information on what course sections are included in the joint
section and links to these course section pages;

Current messages. The joint section page shows only messages that
are posted on a joint section bulletin board that have the status
"Portal” or "Portal and public” and have current date and time limits;

Links for setting up new functions;

Link for coping functions;

Link to recycle bin; and

Prepared functions appear in the menu.

The teacher can send email via a joint list of participants for the
course sections involved. Joint course sections have the same functions
as course sections apart from examination registration and course
registration.

To set up a function for a course section, you must have the role of a department or course section administrator.

Students see the functions used for a joint section via any of the
course sections involved. They see two lists of participants, one for the course and one for the joint section.

Create joint section

A joint section is created via the tab Education > Create joint section. Joint sections can be set up by the role Department
administrator.

Open the tab Education and click on the link Create joint section in the menu.

Enter the name of the joint section.

Mark what course sections are to be included in the joint
section.

Click on Save.

Please note: To be able to choose course sections from
different departments the administrator must have authorization to work
with these departments and select “All” at Selection of department.

Edit/remove joint section

Editing and removing joint sections is done via the overview where
the joint section is included. The link to "Edit joint section" is
found next to the name of the joint section. Joint sections have no course code and therefore cannot be sorted by
course; instead, they are listed at the end of the list of course
sections when sorted in the overview.

Please note: If you remove a joint course section, all functions and any content
tied to the joint course section will disappear.

courses, even if you have been admitted to an entire programme.

Courses you have been admitted to are shown under the My studies tab. If you have newly been admitted to a programme, the first
course will be shown. If you have been admitted to a package of
courses, the courses included in the package will be shown. The name
of the course is a link to the course page and registration.

Registration can be done via the Student Portal or via a roll
call. You will find registration information on the course page.

At the beginning of all courses, departments record their
registrations in the University system for documentation of studies,
Uppdok.

This account will
automatically generate your own email address. Departments send out information to their students via
through their university email addresses. If you prefer to use an
email address that is different from the one tied to your student
account, you can have your email from this account, email from the
student account can be forwarded to another address.
